The US announced on the 7th that it would restrict semiconductor-related 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.
Accordingly, export to China is restricted for all foreign semiconductor-related companies that use 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 restricted.
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 China’s military and technological development.
He also evaluated that this measure would be a great turning point in China’s technology export policy since the 1990s.
Earlier this year, the U.S. government sent letters to U.S. companies such as KLAC, Lam Research, and Applied Materials Inc. We have asked the factory to ban exports. With this regulation, the contents of an existing letter sent by the U.S. government to domestic companies have become official.
