President of major producers in The chip supply chain believes that companies will stop using chips in the near future. China Thanks to the U.S. new regulations, manufacturers can now manufacture their product
“The business model of producing in China and exporting abroad is no longer viable,” Hideo Tanimoto is president KyoceraHe told them the Financial Times, He said that it was still possible to manufacture for China’s domestic market, but he did not rule out the possibility.

In October 2008, the Biden administration implemented strict export control measures China, limiting the sale of advanced chips and chipmaking equipment to the country’s chip industry.
Earlier this year, Japan and the Netherlands—whose companies manufacture the equipment needed for the most advanced chips—are also moving to bar exports This technology can be used to help Chinese businesses.

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation China’s largest chip foundry, admitted earlier this month It is likely that the opening of one its new factories will be delayed than expected. It cited difficulty in getting high-tech equipment.
Both SMIC and YMTC are on the U.S.’s Entity List. U.S. companies can’t sell certain advanced technologies to companies on the list without a license from the U.S. government.
Beijing is yet to take retaliatory steps against the U.S. considering Advanced technologies that are used to make advanced solar wafers can be subject to export restrictions. China Produces 97% of the components.
Chinese officials have been increasing their funding for high-tech technologies instead, and Guangzhou was the first to do so on Monday announcing A new fund of $29 billion for investments in Semiconductors, renewable energy, and other high-tech sectors.
