New US Rule on Foreign Chip Equipment Exports to China to Exempt Some Allies - Reuters
- President Joe Biden's administration plans to unveil a new rule next month that will expand U.S. powers to stop exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment from some foreign countries to Chinese chipmakers.
- Shipments from allies including Japan, the Netherlands and South Korea will be excluded, limiting the impact of the rule.
- ASML and Tokyo Electron will not be affected.
- The new rule would bar about half a dozen Chinese semiconductor fabrication factories, or fabs.
