An e-mail sent by the US Chamber of Commerce, the largest lobby group in the US, to its members, indicating that High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) exports will also be banned, caused the leak of the sanctions plan.
As is well known, the US has been engaged in a chip war with China for several years and has recently begun to implement strict policies to limit the export of equipment manufactured on US soil.
These policies have disrupted not only China’s ambition to rise to the top of the semiconductor world, but also the finances of global players such as Nvidia, which has been banned from exporting high-performance GPUs to China.
Now the latest move shows the latest efforts of the current administration of US President Joe Biden to impose stricter regulations on chipmakers in China
The latest step prohibits US companies from exporting certain technologies or products to targeted companies. The report suggests that the US Department of Commerce aims to put these new regulations into effect before the Thanksgiving holiday or 28 November.
Reuter reached out to the Department of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce for comment but did not receive a response.
Another wave of sanctions targeting HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) exports will be imposed in December, primarily aimed at halting China’s progress in artificial intelligence.
