U.S. weighs sanctions on CXMT to hinder Chinese chip progress.Previous actions blocked imports and halted advanced AI chip shipments to China.In a strategic move to impede China’s progress in advanced semiconductor development, the United States is contemplating imposing sanctions on several Chinese tech companies, including the prominent chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies . Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the U.S.
The Commerce Department, the Bureau of Industry and Security, and ChangXin Memory Technologies have yet to respond to requests for comments on the matter. Last year, the United States took a significant step by blocking American imports to a major plant of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation after it manufactured chips used in Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro phone. This move disrupted millions of dollars worth of shipments of chipmaking materials and parts from suppliers like Entegris.
In recent months, the U.S. has escalated its efforts to impede the shipment of advanced artificial intelligence chips to China. The aim is to prevent Beijing from acquiring cutting-edge U.S. technologies that could potentially enhance its military capabilities. The proposed blacklisting of CXMT underscores the U.S.
As the global tech rivalry intensifies, the potential blacklisting of CXMT signifies a significant move in the ongoing struggle for technological supremacy between the United States and China. The repercussions of such actions may have far-reaching effects on the semiconductor industry and the broader landscape of international relations.Global scientists unite against AI bioweapons.
