(Washington Comprehensive) Reuters quoted sources saying that the Bayeng government plans to expand the restrictions on exports to China for artificial intelligence and chip manufacturing equipment next month.
Sources said that the U.S. Department of Commerce had issued a letter earlier this year to three American companies KLA Corp, Lam Research Corp, and Applied Materials Inc, and they were banned from obtained the official license.Below, to manufacture items to the Chinese factory export chip manufacturing to the production of Asian 14 -nanometer semiconductor.
Last month, the Ministry of Commerce also wrote a letter to the other two companies Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices to stop exporting multiple artificial intelligent computer chips to China.
Sources said that the new regulations that are about to be introduced may include extra actions against China, but these restrictions are not determined, which means that there will be adjustments, or it may be postponed than expected.
A senior official from the Ministry of Commerce refused to respond to Reuters reports.A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce reiterated last Friday that they would fully implement additional new rules to protect the interests of US national security and foreign policy, including preventing China from obtaining technology that applies to military modernization from the United States.
The Bayeng government tries to protect the United States' dominant technology and obstructs China's progress.The US Chamber of Commerce had warned the members of the subordinates, and artificial intelligence chips and chip production tools were about to be restricted.The Chamber of Commerce also said that the U.S. government plans to include more Chinese supercomputers on the trade blacklist.
In addition, two sources revealed that US officials have begun contact with allies and lobbying them to formulate similar policies, so that foreign companies can also unable to sell US companies to prohibit exporting technology from Chinese companies.
Experts: It is the key to kill Chinese chips
Lewis, a technical expert in Washington Think Tank Strategy and International Center, said that the US strategy is to kill China. They find that chips are a key, because China cannot create this thing or manufacture related production equipment.
It is known that the Ministry of Commerce can bypass the lengthy procedures for formulating regulations and quickly control the target American company that produces high -end chips.At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce can expand the scope of control and control other American companies that produce similar technologies.
It is reported that new regulations may be suitable for controlling Nvidia and ultra -micro -micro -semiconductors in the field of artificial intelligence chips.
Starts such as Intel Corp and Cerebras Systems are expanding the high -end computer software and hardware market.Intel said they pay attention to the new rules of the government.A source said that the new regulations may also be a product that exports to China with target chips, requiring these products to obtain a license to export.Currently, Dell TechNologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Super Micro Computer produced data center servers including Nvidia A100 chips.
The United States has recently banned Nvidia A100 and other types of high -performance artificial intelligence chips into China.Dell and Huihe said they were still paying attention to the development of the situation, while ultra -micro computers did not comment.
