US-China chip war: How the technology dispute is playing out
The US is rapidly ramping up efforts to
try to hobble China's progress in the semiconductor industry - vital for
everything from smartphones to weapons of war.
In October, Washington announced
some of the broadest export controls yet - requiring licenses for companies exporting chips to
China using US tools or software, no matter where they're made in the world.
Washington's measures
also prevent US citizens and green card holders from working for certain
Chinese chip companies. Green card holders are US permanent residents who have
the right to work in the country.
It is cutting off a key pipeline of American talent to China which will affect the development of high-end semiconductors.
Why is the US doing this?
Advanced chips are
used to power supercomputers, artificial intelligence and military hardware.
The US says China's
use of the technology poses a threat to its own national security.
Alan Estevez,
undersecretary at the US Commerce Department announced the rules, saying his
intention was to ensure the US was doing everything it could to prevent
"sensitive technologies with military applications" from being
acquired by China.
"The threat
environment is always changing and we are updating our policies today to make
sure we're addressing the challenges," he said.
Meanwhile, China has
called the controls "technology terrorism".
Countries in Asia that
produce chips - such as Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea - have raised concerns
about how this bitter battle is affecting the global supply chain.
And there were three significant developments in the chip conflict over the past week.
More Chinese firms on 'entity list'
The Biden
administration has added 36 more Chinese companies, including major chipmaker
YMTC to Washington's "entity list".
It means American
companies will need government permission to sell certain technologies to them,
and that permission is difficult to secure.
The US restrictions
have broad implications. Last week, UK-based computer chip designer Arm
confirmed that it was not selling its most advanced designs to Chinese firms
including tech giant Alibaba because of US and UK controls.
Arm said it was
"committed to adhering to all applicable export laws and regulations in
the jurisdictions in which it operates."
