Wants to set the Chinese back ten years

The US government is working on even tighter restrictions to set Chinese chipmakers back nearly a decade.

According to Tom's Hardware the US wants to expand its sanctions and has signed up Japan and the Netherlands to support it.

The US wants to restrict Chinese chipmakers' access to wafer fabs that can be used to make chips in the 40nm class. If all the restrictions are imposed and no export licences are granted for the sale of advanced chip-making equipment to SMIC and other Chinese chipmakers, it'll set back the People's Republic's semiconductor industry by at least a decade. Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) manufacturers will suffer, which could affect the entire industry, although ASML, the world's leading manufacturer of lithography equipment, will be less affected than its American and Japanese competitors.
