Washington Press Seoul to tighten restrictions on the export of chips' slides

The United States, from South Korea, requires restrictions on the export of semiconductor technology to China, similar to those that Washington has already applied, and another sign that the administration of US President Joe Biden is strengthening his efforts to prevent Beijing’s ambitions in the field of slides. US officials from South Korea want to limit the flow of equipment and technologies needed to make treatment and advanced memory chips to China, according to people who are familiar with the matter. One person, who asked not to be identified because the discussions especially said that it included more advanced treatment discs than 14 Nm, and a type of memory chips called ‘dram’ of more than 18 Nm. This will match the set of procedures announced by the US Department of Trade for the first time in 2022. People said US officials discussed these issues deeply with the government of South Korean President Yun Suk Yol in March. While in mid -June, the United States is trying to reach an agreement before the group of seven summit, Seoul officials are discussing whether they should meet US demand, as China remains a major commercial partner. Attempts to persuade the Allies did not discuss the details of the new question with South Korea, which at the top of the new American efforts come to persuade the allies to limit the service of semiconductor equipment for Chinese businesses, and to limit the export and slides of parts to China. ‘Bloomberg News’ said that the United States has printed its allies, including South Korea and Germany, to tighten restrictions on China’s arrival in their technology, especially as South Korea plays a leading role in the production of semiconductors and to provide parts for chips -making equipment.

South Korean concern The South Korean officials are concerned about the possible anti -pens that Beijing could impose on export control, especially as the major Korean companies such as “Samsung” and “Sk Hynix” are still working in China, which is considered the largest commercial partner for a remnant. The US office of the Department of Trade and Safety did not respond to the suspension requests. The South Korean Ministry of Commerce refused to comment. South Korea is made using the Samsung and Heinix businesses, some of the most advanced processing and memory segments in the world. Although the discs suppliers are not prominent such as the US company “Applied Mateials Inc” or “Asml Holding NV”, the manufacturers of local equipment are, including Hanmii Semiductor Co. Jusung Engineering Co., an important part of the semiconductor work system in the Asian state. Also read: Yellen plans to push China on its surplus industrial capacity. South Korea has the largest market share of memory chips in China, and is the second largest silicon disc for Chinese businesses after Japan, according to a report issued by the Korean Institute of International Economic Policy in February. The report said that South Korea for the materials and parts of the chip industry is also the second largest exporter for China to Japan. Meanwhile, South Korea utilizes a multinational framework to review export control for sensitive products such as semiconductors associated with semiconductors, the South Korean Minister of Trade told reporters last month, an approach that can make US efforts to reduce China’s influence on the provision of technology. The official added that it takes months for South Korea to implement any restrictions.
