The United States is expected to announce this week new measures restricting Chinese companies from gaining access to technologies enabling high-performance computing, three people briefed on the matter told Reuters.
The measures would aim to cut off China's access to advanced semiconductor technology, the people said.

With technologies like advanced logic and memory chips, Sullivan said, "we must maintain as large of a lead as possible," he added.that the United States was considering limiting shipments of chipmaking equipment to memory chip makers in China including Yangtze Memory Technologies Co Ltd .
