The United States announced on the 7th that it would limit semiconductor exports to China.
Export control measures announced today by the US Department of Commerce restrict China’s access to all semiconductor chips made with US technology.
As a result, export to China is limited to all foreign semiconductor-related companies using US technology, as well as US companies.
In particular, exports of semiconductor chips used in supercomputers for the development of nuclear weapons will be severely limited.
It also included a requirement for US companies to obtain a separate license to sell advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Chinese companies.
The New York Times (NYT) newspaper predicted that this measure would slow down China’s military and technological development.
He also assessed that this measure would be a major turning point in China’s tech export policy since the 1990s.
Earlier this year, the US government sent letters to US companies such as KLAC, Lam Research, and Applied Materials Inc. We asked the factory to ban exports. With this regulation, the contents of an existing letter sent by the US government to national companies became official.
