Japan will restrict the overseas sale of chip manufacturing equipment, joining the United States and the Netherlands in curbing the export of key technology to China
The country announced Friday it would tighten exports of 23 types of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The rules will take effect in July, according to Japan’s minister of economy, trade and industry, Yasutoshi Nishimura. The ministry said it would require stricter procedures to export to about 160 destinations such as China, while 42 territories — including the United States, South Korea and Taiwan — are recognized by Japan as having adequate export controls in place.
It also restricted the ability of American citizens to provide support for the development or production of chips at certain facilities in China. Earlier this month, the Netherlands also unveiled new restrictions on overseas sales of semiconductor technology, citing the need to protect national security. Japan has been involved in three-way discussions with both countries, a source familiar with the talks previously told CNN.
