US Gov''t To Broaden Chip Curbs To China, Reuters Says
US Gov''t To Broaden Chip Curbs To China, Reuters Says The Biden administration plans to broaden curbs on US exports of semiconductors used for artificial intelligence to China and chipmaking tools, Reuters reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. This comes after the US government recently restricted exports of Nvidia Corp . and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.''s artificial intelligence chips to the country. The Commerce Department is set to publish new export regulations outlined in letters earlier this year to three US companies -- KLA Corp, Lam Research Corp, and Applied Materials Inc, the people said. The letters prohibited the three companies from exporting chipmaking equipment to Chinese companies that manufacture advanced chips with sub-14 nanometer processes unless they obtained a license from the Commerce Department. According to Reuters, the new rules would also codify restrictions imposed on Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. There is a possibility for export license requirements for products that contain the targeted chips. "Turning the letters into rules would broaden their reach and could subject other US companies producing similar technology to the restrictions," Reuters said.
