(Bloomberg, Washington) The U.S. government has set up restrictions on citizens' efficiency of the Chinese chip industry, but the scope of execution is smaller than the outside world.expected.
The United States announced on October 7 that it has implemented new export controls on the Chinese chip industry.A document published by the Industry and Safety Administration (BIS) showed that these regulations seem to be mainly for Americans working at certain functional departments at the semiconductor manufacturing equipment company; this document lies in clarifying the export control measures announced on October 7thEssenceThese sanctions are designed to make the Chinese military unable to reach cutting -edge chip technologies, but exacerbated the uncertainty of the Chinese technology industry and hit global chip stocks.
Americans (anyone holding American passports, green cards, or residency) need to obtain permission in order to conduct or authorize items in Chinese factories to develop or produce advanced chips, but engaged in related documents or administrative workPeople do not need to obtain permission.The document states that the relevant regulations are suitable for Americans who maintain, repair and refurbish these items.
Designers and engineers born in foreign countries, and Chinese overseas Chinese holding overseas passports have played an important role in the development of scientific and technological in China for a long time.The new restrictions have triggered widespread doubts in the Chinese chip industry, worrying that the new regulations will completely prohibit American employees from effect.
The executives of several major semiconductor companies in China are those holding American passports.
U.S. President Biden banned Americans from playing for Chinese chip companies. It is a key ambition for Chinese officials.
Chinese chip manufacturers such as SMIC or equipment suppliers such as Huachuang in the North may still be affected, but these measures will only prevent people from performing certain functions.Americans related to the Chinese chip design industry may not be affected in the end -semiconductor design companies usually do not directly operate factories or have too many equipment.
