The US has imposed controls on exports of some semiconductor chips to China, as it attempts to slow Beijing’s progress on technology, supercomputers and military-related applications.
The US has imposed controls on exports of some semiconductor chips to China, as it attempts to slow Beijing’s progress on technology, supercomputers and military-related applications.
The measures are intended to force American and foreign companies that use US technology to cut off support for some of China’s leading factories and chip designers. They could amount to the biggest shift in US policy towards shipping technology to China since the 1990s.
“China isn’t going to give up on chipmaking… but this will really slow them (down),” Jim Lewis, a technology and cybersecurity expert at US think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Reuters.
