Summary
New U.S. chip sanctions are expected to escalate restrictions on China's semiconductor industry, targeting major suppliers and partners of Huawei.
The Biden administration has reportedly softened some initial proposals after lobbying by U.S. chipmakers and pushback from allies like Japan and the Netherlands.
The sanctions are likely to impact both China’s self-reliance efforts and the global chip supply chain.
The United States is preparing a new round of sanctions targeting China’s semiconductor sector, in a move expected to tighten export controls on advanced chip equipment and materials. According to sources, the Biden administration aims to blacklist major suppliers and fabrication plants linked to Huawei, escalating the ongoing tech rivalry between the two nations.
