United States aims to hobble China's chip industry with sweeping new export rules


BEIJING, Oct 9 (Reuters): The Biden administration published a sweeping set of export controls on Friday night (Oct 7), including a measure to cut China off from certain semiconductor chips made anywhere in the world with US equipment, vastly expanding its reach in its bid to slow Beijing's technological and military advances.

The rules, some of which take immediate effect, build on restrictions sent in letters this year to top toolmakers KLA Corp, Lam Research Corp and Applied Materials Inc, effectively requiring them to halt shipments of equipment to wholly Chinese-owned factories producing advanced logic chips.
