The United States intends to expand export restrictions on China, and semiconductors are among them

According to Reuters, the United States announced on Monday that it will impose new export restrictions on China, preventing China from acquiring US semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other advanced technologies through civilian commerce and other means, and then switching to military use.

The new regulations will require US companies to obtain permission to sell certain items (even for civilian use) to military entities, and to abolish certain U.S. technology and products that are exported to China without permission. These technologies and products include civilian products such as integrated circuits, telecommunications equipment, radar and high-end computers.

The Trump administration also announced another proposed modification that requires foreign companies that export certain US products to China to obtain not only approval from their own governments but also permission from the US government.

It is understood that the relevant rules will be published in the US Federal Register on April 28.

John Neuffer, Chairman and CEO of the Semiconductor Industry Association, said the industry is concerned that the new regulations "will unnecessarily expand semiconductor export controls during times of global economic turmoil and bring more to our industry Uncertainty."
