Washington Prints Japan to tighten the restrictions of exporting slides to China

Senior US lawmakers have requested Japan to tighten up restrictions on equipment for the chip industry to China and warn that if Tokyo does not take measures, Washington can impose its own restrictions on Japanese companies, or prevent tool manufacturers selling China to obtain US grants dedicated to the semiconductor sector. The largest Republican and Democrats of the parliamentary committee in China expressed concern on October 15 in a letter, addressed to Japanese ambassador to the United States, Chigu Yamada, and looked at “Bloomberg”. Legionships rejected the allegations that restrictions had a significant negative impact on Chipping’s manufacturing companies, such as ‘Tokyo Electron’, and highlighted the importance of cooperation between the United States, Japan and the Netherlands, which offers the five most important companies to manufacture semiconductor equipment, to slow down China’s ambitions. “The allegations that these companies have been damaged by current restrictions are not justified during the investigation,” said John Mullenar, chairman of the committee, a Republican, and Raja Krishnamori, the largest democratic in the committee. At the request of a comment on the letter, a spokesman for the committee showed on this phrase. The Japanese embassy did not immediately respond to the request for comment. A limited impact The message has pointed to the high prices of the shares of ‘Tokyo Electron’ enterprises ‘, Asml Holding NV’, ‘Lamb Research Corp’, and ‘Applied Mateials Inc’, as well as the United States Subsidies and the European Union, as proof of the limited effects of export control. Generally, these businesses have earned profits from the wealth of artificial intelligence. Although none of them have yet obtained direct government awards from the laws of US conductors and science, its clients, such as the “Intel” and “Samsung” chips, can use tax credits with 25% to buy their equipment for US facilities. However, China is still an important and profitable market for all Chip tool manufacturers, and in Tokyo officials and The Hague warns about the introduction of additional restrictions. Meanwhile, US companies have argued that the tightening of Washington restrictions gives their foreign competitors an unfair advantage. They say more unilateral restrictions will have a harmful effect on the US industry without similar measures of the Allies. Joe Biden’s administration has pushed Japan and the Netherlands to strengthen his control over discs, as part of an ongoing campaign for years to prevent Beijing from reaching artificial intelligence instruments that can benefit his army. Specifically, US officials are trying to impose a ban on Japanese and Dutch people who maintain and repair advanced equipment in China, in accordance with the rules that Washington has already set up for American people. They also want allies to reduce the sale of additional tools, according to a broader package new regulations that are still in discussion. A threat to revenge was that the task was difficult, as the allies resisted the implementation of new rules before the US presidential election. Japan is particularly concerned about negative consequences, not only on “Tokyo Electron”, but also to “Toyota Motor”, as China responds to new restrictions by limiting the arrival of Japanese car companies to biological minerals. Beijing officials have repeated their threats to take revenge during their meetings with their peers in Tokyo, according to Bloomberg in September. So far, export control conversations have focused on China’s ability to produce advanced chips. But the message of the legislators to Yamada also showed concern about China’s ability to produce the less developed processors, an important region on which Beijing focuses, especially after the United States and its allies reduced high -level equipment. To confront this acceleration, the Biden administration from 2025 increased the customs duties on Chinese chips to 50%. The message believes that there is more than it can be done. Mullenar and Crichnamurthi wrote that China’s chips want to control “is the lifestyle of the modern economy and the modern army.” Without a multilateral attempt to address these problems, the message states that the shipping of the US, Japanese and Dutch disk industry for Beijing ‘will veto the work on the ability of our countries to produce our weapons systems and modern consumer goods at the necessary levels. ” A multilateral solution while legislators prefer a multilateral solution, they emphasized that the United States has other options. One is to disclose the FDR Act, which enables Washington to regulate the manufactured goods abroad, even with the smallest amount of US technology. The Biden Administration officials proposed this possibility in discussions related to export control during the summer, but they eventually decided to exclude the main allies from the rules of the Foreign Products Act in their recent proposal. The message also referred to the Treasury authorities or the possibility of additional controls on the financing of the disk law, “including whether money should be limited to companies or countries that send the semiconductor to China’s manufacturing equipment.” This is not the first time that Congress has shown an interest in adding more rules to the Chips Act, which was signed by President Joe Biden in 2022. Earlier this year, there was a proposal to prevent financing beneficiaries, to buy Chinese tools for US facilities that receive government financing.
