The US government may introduce a new series of sanctions affecting at least 200 domestic chip makers in China, per a report from Reuters. These new regulations came to light in an e-mail by the US Chamber of Commerce to its members - the largest lobbying group in the US - also hinting at a forthcoming ban-hammer on the export of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM).
For the past few years, the US and China have waged a chip war, and recent policies have limited the export of equipment manufactured on US soil. These policies have not only thrown a wrench in China's ambitions to rise to the highest ranks in the semiconductor world but also the finances of global players like Nvidia, who are barred from exporting high-performance GPUs to China. Nonetheless, China is ambitiously working hard to achieve a sort of chip-autarky, but that comes with its own set of caveats, as it'd not only have to design its chips but also manufacture them.
