The Wall Street Journal on Monday (June 12) quoted reports from senior officials of the US Department of Commerce that the Bayeng government plans to allow top semiconductor manufacturers in South Korea and Taiwan to maintain and expand without being retaliated by the United States.Hanyai's existing chip manufacturing business in mainland China.
Some analysts said that the move will weaken the US's export control measures to slow down the implementation of China's technological progress.
According to many participants, the US Department of Commerce, Alan Estevez, said at an industry conference last week that the Biden government said thatIt is intended to extend an existing exemption of a US export control policy, which aims to limit the company to sell chips and chip manufacturing equipment to China.
Last October, the United States implemented restrictions on China's semiconductor industry, but also provided a number of technology companies such as Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Style Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC).Exemption.These companies have invested hundreds of billions of dollars to build factories in mainland China.
The above exemption will expire in October this year.Participants said that Estwitz said at a meeting of the semiconductor industry association that these exemptions will continue in a foreseeable future.The US Department of Commerce refused to comment on this remark.
Industry executives said that it will be extended rather than gradually decrease or even terminate exemption, which means that the US government recognizes that in a highly integrated global industry, it is necessary to engage in science and technology in China than expected.difficulty.This is also exactly that some foreign companies are constantly expanding the intervention of Washington.
