Американцы в последние пол года применили давление на своих союзников таких как Нидерланды и Япония,
чтобы полностью прекратить поставки в Китай экспорт полупроводниковых технологий

Эти страны являются одними из основных поставщиков оборудования для производства полупроводников.

Интересно, но в октябре, китайцы поспешили забанить военный экспорт в Россию после того, как
администрация Байдена издала новые радикальные правила,
которые включают ограничения на поставку китайским клиентам самого передового оборудования
для производства микросхем американских производителей и ограничения на работу американцев в китайских полупроводниковых фирмах.

Это наверно ещё объясняет, почему китайцы зачастили в поисках договоров по новым технологиям в организации Хай Тека в Израиле.
Я полагаю, что новое правительство Израиля подвергнется беспрецедентному давлению от США - остановить передачу израильских разработок...

Вот почему я думаю китайцы слили в FT известную "мазилку" и обозвали Пу лжецом:

The Biden administration issued sweeping new rules in October that include restrictions on the supply of U.S. manufacturers’ most advanced chipmaking equipment to Chinese customers and limits on Americans working for Chinese semiconductor firms, a move aimed at choking off access to certain expertise.

Japan and the Netherlands, home to key suppliers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, are close to joining a Biden administration-led effort to restrict exports of the technology to China and hobble its push into the chips industry.

The Japanese and Dutch export controls may be agreed to and finalized as soon as the end of January, according to people familiar with the matter. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Netherlands leader Mark Rutte, discussed their plans with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House earlier this month.

“I’m fairly confident that we will get there,” Rutte said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg News on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The Hague and Tokyo likely will go as far as Washington’s restrictions, which not only limit exports of American-made machinery but also impede U.S. citizens from working with Chinese chipmakers. Even so, Beijing may find itself even more cut off from either the technology or know-how it needs to build the most advanced kinds of semiconductors once all three countries act.

While the U.S. is home to the biggest group of chip-gear makers, the Netherlands boasts ASML Holding, which controls the market for lithography technology that’s one of the most important steps in producing the electronic components.

Japan’s Tokyo Electron, meanwhile, is a major rival to U.S. companies in other types of machinery. Without access to their state-of-the-art products and those supplied by U.S. firms Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA, Chinese companies would find it almost impossible to build production lines capable of the most advanced chip manufacturing, analysts say.


On Friday, Liberal Democratic Party heavyweight Akira Amari, the main architect of Tokyo’s effort to elevate Japan’s semiconductor industry, said his country must join the U.S. in containing China’s chip ambitions, warning that Beijing is part of a group of nations seeking global hegemony and must be curbed.

But any sanctions need to be carefully calibrated to avoid a complete decoupling that risks global economic stability, Amari told Bloomberg News.

“Countries like China, Russia and North Korea are vying for global hegemony, and we should never help them achieve that,” Amari said. “We must join the U.S. in stopping exports of cutting-edge chips that can be diverted for military use and pose serious security concerns.”

A spokeswoman for the White House’s National Security Council declined to comment.

China Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Friday at a regular press briefing in Beijing that the U.S. effort showed its “selfish hegemonic interest” and that Washington was “seeking to benefit itself at the expense of its allies.”

Beijing “would follow what is developing and defend our own interests,” Wang added.

The Biden administration issued sweeping new rules in October that include restrictions on the supply of U.S. manufacturers’ most advanced chipmaking equipment to Chinese customers and limits on Americans working for Chinese semiconductor firms, a move aimed at choking off access to certain expertise.

A comment period on the Commerce Department’s rules — opposed by some U.S. semiconductor companies but supported by lawmakers in both parties — closes Jan. 31. Republicans in Congress have pressured Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to crack down even tighter on Chinese chipmakers, questioning in a letter on Wednesday whether the export controls are being sufficiently enforced.

Semiconductors have become a key battleground for the growing rivalry between the world’s two largest economies. The U.S. is the inventor and largest provider of the technology, while China is the biggest single market. Beijing’s dependence, combined with growing efforts by Washington to limit access to advanced chips and their military use, have prompted China to seek to reduce its reliance on imports.

For Biden, broadening his move against China to include the Netherlands and Japan will add to its effectiveness. For the Dutch and Japanese, as for some U.S. companies, the geopolitical concerns must be weighed against losing access to a huge market.

“I commend the Biden administration for working with our partners to apply export controls on equipment used to make advanced semiconductors and am eager to scrutinize the specifics of what comes out of these talks,” Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement to Bloomberg News.
