The Biden administration will tighten sweeping measures announced last October to restrict China’s access to advanced semiconductors and chipmaking gear, as the US seeks to prevent its geopolitical rival from developing cutting-edge tech that could lend a military edge.
The new rules aim to refine and close loopholes from last year’s curbs, according to people familiar with the matter. The Biden administration will add Chinese chip design firms to a trade restriction list, forcing overseas manufacturers to gain a US license to fill orders from those companies, as well as strengthen controls on selling advanced chipmaking equipment and graphics chips to Chinese firms, the people said.US technology companies ranging from Nvidia Corp. to Applied Materials Inc.
The administration will also impose additional checks on Chinese firms attempting to avoid country-specific restrictions by routing shipments and manufacturing elsewhere. Specifically, the rules will continue to restrict shipments of certain chips to Chinese companies’ overseas subsidiaries and affiliates, and begin requiring a license to export prohibited technologies to countries that could be used as intermediaries.
The updated restrictions will be published early this week, people familiar with the internal deliberations said. A spokesman for the National Security Council declined to comment, as did a spokeswoman for the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Last year’s curbs were an aggressive step by the US to curtail China’s technological prowess, as advanced chips — particularly those with military applications — have become a key geopolitical battleground between Washington and Beijing. China has bristled at the restrictions and accelerated investments in building its own domestic capabilities.
