The White-House is rolling-out strict tech-control measures that will stop China from getting top-level semiconductor tech (which is key for modern computing and military use)
US policy-makers worked with global allies to create these limits which build on previous tech-blocks from the Trump years. The long-planned package aims to keep advanced chip-making tools away from Chinese companies; experts say this could change how the whole industry works
These are the strongest and most comprehensive actions weʼve ever taken to protect US national security
The rules come after many talks with foreign tech partners and chip makers who wanted their views heard. The White House took its time to make sure everyone was on-board with the plan: this shows how US leaders want to work with allies on tech-control stuff
The new limits target both finished chips and the machines that make them - its a two-sided approach thats meant to slow down Chinas push to make its own high-end computer parts. Trade experts think these rules could shake up supply chains and change how companies do business across borders
