Japan to stop exporting chipmaking equipment to China, aligns with US in the Global Chip War

Japan said it will restrict exports of 23 types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, including some crucial lithography equipment that is used to slice silicon wafers. After the Netherlands, Japan had the most advanced tech in making silicon chips.

Tech companies continue to abandon China. Here’s why its good news for India, Mexico and Vietnam

For tech companies around the world, the business model of manufacturing in China and then exporting to the rest of the world does not make sense anymore. As a result, many tech companies are working on their own version of Apple's China Plus One policy

The Chip War: In a major blow to China, Netherlands and Japan decide to side with US over chip sanctions

Much to China’s dismay, the Netherlands and Japan have decided to abide by the sanctions that the US has imposed on Chinese chip makers. This effectively means that China will no longer be able to make the latest semiconductors, and can neither develop next-gen chips.

The semiconductor monopoly: How one Dutch company has a stranglehold over the global chip industry

ASML is the only company in the world that owns the technology and makes the machinery to make physical chips out of silicon wafers. Chipmakers like TSMC, NVIDIA and Intel won’t be able to make the chips they do without ASML’s EUV technology.

China officially files a trade dispute claim with the WTO against the US for export curbs on semiconductors

The US has passed many sweeping regulations and measures since October this year which are aimed at isolating China from the global semiconductor industry. These curbs, if effective, will cripple China’s plan to dominate semiconductor manufacturing.

China is preparing a $143 billion package for its semiconductor firms amid curbs and sanctions by the US

China has decided to infuse more than 1 trillion yuan or about $143 billion into its semiconductor industry to become self-sufficient in chips, and to counter the US going after China’s technological advances.
