The U.S. is limiting its exports to a Chinese chipmaker as regulators increase scrutiny over potential national security threats.
The US Commerce Department announced Monday that it will not allow U.S. companies to sell parts to Chinese semiconductor firm Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Company, unless the latter is able to get a special license to buy an American product.
The export restriction apparently stems from U.S. official’s concerns about China getting access to critical components of U.S. military systems. Fujian Jinhua potentially "poses a significant risk of becoming involved in activities that are contrary to the national security interests of the United States," the Department said regarding its latest curb on exports. This follows December’s federal lawsuit filed by U.S. chipmaker Micron accusing Fujian Jinhua of stealing its trade secrets. Fujian Jinhua retaliated through a countersuit against Micron in Chinese court in January.
Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration put an export ban on Chinese telecom company ZTE, on allegations that the company presented false information to American officials about punishing employees who violated US sanctions against Iran and North Korea. The ban was lifted in July after ZTE agreed to shell out $1 billion in fines and promised increased oversight. This reflected that ZTE could potentially have been in a serious quandary is it was unable to buy chips/processors from U.S. firms like Qualcomm.
The export bans/restrictions potentially aggravate U.S.-China tensions amidst the tariff-slapping battle that is yet to cool off between the two nations.
