据路透社报道,美国商会在周四发给会员的一封电子邮件中表示,拜登政府最早将于下周公布针对中国的新出口限制措施。
部分摘录内容显示,这家颇具影响力的位于华盛顿的游说团体在邮件中称,新规定可能会将多达200家中国芯片企业列入贸易限制名单,禁止大多数美国供应商向这些目标企业发货。
邮件中:负责监管美国出口政策的美国商务部计划在下周四“感恩节假日之前”公布新规定。(本周半导体芯片股票大跌)
美国商会未回应置评请求,美国商务部拒绝置评。
如果这一消息属实,这一最新情况表明,尽管共和党当选总统唐纳德·特朗普明年1月即将开启第二个任期,但拜登政府仍在推进进一步限制中国获取半导体的计划。
邮件还提到,作为更广泛的人工智能一揽子计划的一部分,另一套限制向中国出口高带宽存储芯片的规定预计将于下月公布。
拜登已对中国实施了一系列出口管制措施,旨在阻止中国的技术进步,因为美方担心相关技术可能会被用于增强中国的军事力量。
了解此事的消息人士称,首轮规定可能会包括限制向中国出口芯片制造工具。
路透社7月曾报道,美国计划公布针对中国的新一揽子出口管制措施,包括将约120家中国实体列入其贸易限制名单。
The Biden administration is set to unveil new export restrictions on China as soon as next week, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce told members in a Thursday email.The new regulations could add up to 200 Chinese chip companies to a trade restriction list that bars most U.S. suppliers from shipping goods to the targeted firms, the email from the powerful Washington-based lobbying group said, according to an excerpt seen by Reuters on Friday.The Commerce Department, which oversees U.S. export policy, plans to publish the new regulations "prior to the Thanksgiving break," next Thursday, according to the email.The Chamber of Commerce did not respond to a request for comment. The Commerce Department declined to comment.The update, if accurate, shows the Biden administration is plowing ahead with plans to further crack down on China's access to semiconductors even as the start of Republican President-elect Donald Trump's second terms in January approaches.Another set of rules curbing shipments of high-bandwidth memory chips to China is expected to be unveiled next month as part of a broader artificial intelligence package, the email continues.Biden has slapped a raft of export controls on China aimed at halting its technological advances, amid fears the technology could be used to bolster China's military.Sources briefed on the matter said the first round of regulations are likely to include restrictions on chipmaking tool shipments to China.Reuters reported in July that the U.S. planned to unveil a new package of export controls on China, including adding about 120 Chinese entities to its restricted trade list.
