TREACHERY! China Lifts Ban on Chip Materials, The U.S. Has Launched New Sanctions on Chinese Chips

#china #chinanews #project #Chips #usa As early as August this year, China announced export controls on metal materials such as gallium and germanium. China’s decision has caused many European and American companies to face the problem of reduced semiconductor production capacity. At the same time, it has had a negative impact on the development and competitiveness of the U.S. semiconductor industry. In order to regain the supply of gallium and germanium materials from China, some American semiconductor companies are trying to apply for the necessary licenses from the Chinese government, including an American semiconductor company called AXT. As far as I know, the American company AXT has successfully obtained an export license from China not long ago and can continue to purchase materials such as gallium and germanium from China. In fact, the purpose of China’s concessions is to improve Sino-US trade tensions and pave the way for deeper cooperation between the two sides. But just when people were looking forward to the easing of the situation between the two countries, the U.S. government suddenly imposed strict sanctions on China’s chip field and formulated a new “chip bill guardrail“ rule. So, why did the United States suddenly launch a new round of attacks on Chinese chips? Against this background, will the development of China’s chip industry be affected? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
