The restrictions come as part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to curb China’s ability to gain access to advanced chips that could help develop AI for military applications.
The United States intends to introduce a third wave of restrictions on the supply of semiconductor chips to 140 Chinese companies, including chip manufacturers. Reuters reported this on Monday, December 2.
The measures include banning the supply of American products without appropriate licenses to about 20 Chinese chip manufacturers, two investment companies and more than 100 equipment manufacturers for the semiconductor industry.
It noted that the restrictions would also affect China’s largest chip makers Naura Technology Group, Piotech and SiCarrier Technology.
In addition, the United States plans to introduce additional restrictions on the sale of its products to China’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Semiconductor Manufacturing International, which was blacklisted in 2020.
The new measures also apply to products made in Malaysia, Singapore, Israel and South Korea. Currently, exceptions remain for the Netherlands and Japan, which, together with the United States, occupy leading positions among manufacturers of equipment for the production of microcircuits.
The restrictions come as part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to curb China’s ability to gain access to advanced chips that could help develop artificial intelligence for military applications or manufacturing equipment. of these.
Let’s remember that after the discovery of TSMC chips in Huawei technologies, the United States introduced new export restrictions for the Taiwanese company.
Earlier it became known that the Russian Federation has at least one Dutch machine for the production of chips, which it uses in UAVs, tanks and missiles.
