International e-commerce situation reported last week that the U.S. government plans to tighten restrictions on high-tech technology exports to China and reach a consensus on three measures, but it has not yet been finalized. Just as U.S. officials are discussing further on this matter, nine major groups including the American chip manufacturing industry, including the American Semiconductor Industry Association, the National Foreign Trade Commission, and the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI), have jointly sent a letter to Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, warning that the implementation of the new regulations will seriously damage the US chip industry...

According to Reuters, on Monday local time, nine major organizations in the US chip industry wrote to US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, urging them to seek public opinions before (the new US regulations) take effect to avoid unexpected consequences.

This letter, jointly signed by the American Semiconductor Industry Association, the National Foreign Trade Commission, the International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) and six other organizations, states that these changes (new U.S. regulations) may have a significant impact on the semiconductor industry, its global supply chain and the wider technology sector.

represents nine major groups in the US chip manufacturing industry in the letter saying in the letter that the U.S. restriction on exports such as semiconductors will have a global impact. At the same time, it emphasized the important role played by chips in responding to the COVID-19 epidemic. Their letter said that in addition to being the core component of advanced medical equipment, chips are also the most critical link in supporting remote office.

In addition, SEMI President Ajit Manocha also wrote a letter to US President Trump last Friday, pointing out that if the (new regulations) are implemented, it will damage the export of US chip manufacturing equipment, and the US revenue of more than US$20 billion will be affected.

Manocha pointed out that this move will curb future investment and innovation in the United States and will promote design and research and development without American technology and parts. At the same time, he further pointed out that the new regulations may bring uncertainty to the semiconductor supply chain, which is crucial to fighting the epidemic.

According to a previous report by Reuters, although senior U.S. officials have reached an agreement on three measures to tighten exports to China, they have not yet been finalized.

's three measures include: one of the modifications is to cancel the exemption of civilian products; the United States will cancel the export exemption of products such as on-site programmable logic gate array (FPGA) integrated circuits for Chinese importers and Chinese citizens.

Another modification will prevent the Chinese military from obtaining certain U.S. products without obtaining a license, even for civilian use, including scientific instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, aircraft engines and certain types of computers. The last modification of

will force foreign companies exporting certain U.S. products to China to obtain not only their own government approval, but also the U.S. government license.

In response to the US government's plan to take further new actions against Huawei to limit Huawei's chip supply, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying responded last week that the Chinese government will never sit idly by the US's technology bullying. At the same time, the United States is urged to stop "defamation" and "do more for cooperation between the two countries."

However, judging from the current reaction of the US chip industry, even if these new regulations restricting exports to China are implemented, it is only the United States' inferior strategy to "harm one thousand enemies and eight hundred themselves."

Since the "new regulations" in the United States have not been finalized, the specific developments need to be further observed, and international e-commerce situation will continue to pay attention to it.
