ow it is getting serious

The Trump administration has placed new restrictions on exports to Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, China’s most advanced maker of computer chips.

The Department of Commerce told American companies in the chip industry that they must first acquire a license to sell technology to SMIC and its subsidiaries. The department said it was taking the action after a review in which it determined that the Chinese company “may pose an unacceptable risk of diversion to a military end use in the People’s Republic of China”.

The move could cut SMIC off from the American software and other technology it needs to make its products, and adds to the list of scalps that the Trump administration has been taking against Chinese technology companies.
