The Biden administration on Friday announced new export restrictions aimed at hobbling China's ability to make advanced semiconductors, escalating the technological conflict between the world's two biggest economies.
"This will set the Chinese back years," Jim Lewis, a technology and cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, toldIn the U.S., the export limits could hurt companies that previously relied on sales to China, though such relationships have become politically fraught in recent years.
The imposition of restrictions "remains a key risk" to wafer fab equipment production in the U.S., Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya said Friday in a research note. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF, which seeks to track the performance of 25 large semiconductor companies, was down more than 5% on Friday afternoon. Part of that drop, however, was attributable to disappointing preliminary third-quarter results from Advanced Micro Devices, which warned of weakening demand for PCs."We are assessing the impact of the new export controls on the U.S. semiconductor industry and working with our member companies and the U.S.
"We understand the goal of ensuring national security and urge the U.S. government to implement the rules in a targeted way — and in collaboration with international partners — to help level the playing field and mitigate unintended harm to U.S. innovation.”"What the U.S. is doing is purely ‘sci-tech hegemony,'" Chinese Embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu told the Journal.
