US probes chip made in China as tensions flare
|
Summary
The US government has launched an official investigation into an advanced chip found in Huawei's latest smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro, igniting a debate in Washington over the effectiveness of sanctions against China. The US Department of Commerce, which has imposed restrictions on Huawei and China's chip industry, is probing a "purported" 7-nanometer processor produced by China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), a blacklisted entity. The revelation, made while US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was visiting China, raises questions about US efforts to restrict China's tech sector and control exports of key materials and knowledge. Chinese semiconductor equipment makers have seen a 20% surge in anticipation of increased state support. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is awaiting more information before commenting on the situation.
