Advanced AI chips become instruments of export control
The United States imposed broad controls on advanced computing chips and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment destined for China.
The rules explicitly linked high-end computing to national security and military modernisation. Later revisions adjusted thresholds and closed loopholes. The measures also showed the difficulty of controlling a supply chain distributed across U.S. design tools, Dutch equipment and Asian manufacturing.
