The United States is encouraging its allies in the chipmaking industry, such as Japan and the Netherlands, to impose stricter limits on China
The Biden administration is pushing for Japan and the Netherlands to reinforce export rules for chipmaking equipment heading to China, following discoveries that Huawei and SMIC manufactured their chips using technology from two American suppliers.
The United States is encouraging Japan and the Netherlands to tighten control on export of chipmaking machinery to China due to concerns about progress achieved by banned Chinese tech firms such as Huawei and SMIC.
In October 2022, Washington enforced export limitations to impede China's attempts at procuring high-performance semiconductors for possible military uses. The Netherlands and Japan, both known for their proficiency in manufacturing high-tech chip-making gear, supported the US by imposing export constraints on advanced machinery and parts.
Even with these precautions, Chinese companies such as Huawei and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), both on the US blacklist, disclosed in August that they had created a sophisticated chip for Huawei's Mate 60 series phone.
The Biden administration is urging Tokyo and The Hague to intensify restrictions to deal with shortcomings in the current rules. Potential actions could involve limiting the export of simpler machines and imposing restrictions on maintenance and repair services for machines that Chinese customers purchased before the regulations were put into place.
Steps to organize export regulations are in progress, with The Hague urging Brussels to prevent division of these regulations within the EU. Concurrently, Washington is aiming for similar restrictions from South Korea, even though the country's firms do not produce technology as sophisticated as that of the Netherlands and Japan.
Worries are emerging about Japanese and South Korean semiconductor firms supplying vital equipment components to Chinese companies under sanctions. This comes after American companies halted the shipments because of export restrictions.
Last summer, Chinese purchases of international semiconductor machinery reached unprecedented levels before the Dutch and Japanese regulations took effect. This suggests that Chinese chip manufacturers were gearing up for the upcoming restrictions.
China's Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, criticized the United States' attempts to limit China's reach to high-tech advancements. He described these as strategies to oppress China and cautioned about possible damages to the US itself.
Discussions among the US and its partners highlight the escalating strain around tech exports to China, as nations attempt to weigh their financial pursuits against worries over national security.
