The U.S. government announced a series of comprehensive export control measures on Friday, including some semiconductor chips made by China from anywhere in the world's use of American tools.

These rules are based on the restrictions proposed by the US government in the letter to some large chip equipment manufacturers earlier this year.The US Department of Commerce is made in the letters such as KLA CORP, Lam Research and Applied Materials and other companies. In fact, these companies are required to stop the manufacturing equipment for export chips to the Chinese factory export chips that produce advanced chips.

Some measures announced on Friday will take effect immediately.This series of measures may be the biggest change in the US technology export policy of China since the 1990s.If it takes effect, US and foreign companies that use American technology will cut off some of the leading factories and chip design institutions in China.

Senior U.S. government officials said to reporters on Thursday that many rules aims to prevent foreign companies from selling advanced chips to China or providing Chinese companies with self -manufacturing advanced chips.However, officials acknowledged that no allies have also promised to implement similar measures, and the United States is discussing with allies.

We realize that if other countries do not join us, the unilateral control we are implementing will lose its effect over time, and an official said.Moreover, if foreign competitors are not similar to similar control, we may damage the leading position in the United States.

The expansion of the export of chips manufactured by American tools to China is based on the scope of the application of expanding foreign direct product rules.The U.S. government has previously expanded the scope of this set of rules, so that the government has the right to control the chip made by the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.The measures announced on Friday also prevented a series of chips used to sell to China for super computing systems.

The new regulations define the supercomputer as a system with more than 1 million trillion computing capabilities in the construction area of 6,400 square feet.The two industry sources said that this meaning may also be hit by some business data centers of Chinese technology giants.The US Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing the chip manufacturer, said that these measures are being studied and urged the United States to implement these measures targeted-and cooperate with international partners-help create a fair competitive environment.

Earlier on Friday, the United States added the top memory chip manufacturer Yangtze River Storage (YMTC) and 30 other Chinese companies to include an unknown list.This has exacerbated the tension between the two governments of the United States and China, and pointed the spearhead to a company that has long -term trouble in the US government.The new measures will also strictly restrict the export of US equipment to the Chinese storage chip manufacturer, and will be established in the letter of restrictions in the letter to NVIDIA (Nvidia) and AMD (Super Weirou) (AMD) as formal regulations, that is, restrictions on restrictions, that is, restrictionsExport to China for chips used to super computing systems, countries around the world rely on these chips to develop nuclear weapons and other military technologies. Reuters first reported the key details of new restrictions on storage chip manufacturers, including foreign companies operating in China from being not affected, as well as expanding companies such as KLA, Coriating R & D, Application Materials, Nvidia, and Chaowei to export technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports to technology exports.Chinese restrictions.

At the same time, global chip companies have begun to consider trying to overcome the impact of the United States' new measures for Chinese chip export control.

South Korean memory chip manufacturer SK Hynix said on Friday that it will seek licenses in accordance with new US equipment export control rules to continue to operate factories in China.SK Hynix prepared to obtain a permit from the US government to the greatest efforts and will cooperate closely with the South Korean government for this, and the company said in a statement.

We are also preparing to operate our manufacturing factories smoothly under the premise of complying with international rules.Cambrian AI pays attention to the chip consultant Karl Freund in the super computing field that the latest measures will prohibit any semiconductor manufacturing company using American tools to sell advanced chips to China, and most chip companies use American tools.

They must develop their own manufacturing technology and must develop their own processor technology to replace the United States or Western technology they are currently in use.Freund said.NVIDIA said last month that these regulations may affect its $ 400 million sales in China this quarter, and the company said on Friday that it is expected that it will not have any further impact on its business.

These regulations have applied wider industry control to the processors that have reached certain thresholds, and we have been controlled.We expect new control measures, including restrictions on the sales of high -secret systems, will not have a substantial impact on our business, the company said in a statement.AMD (Chaowei/Chaou) did not immediately respond to the comment request.
