Foreign media: The United States is considering issuing annual chip supply licenses to Samsung and SK Hynix's chip factories in China, replacing previous indefinite authorizations.
This move was proposed after the Trump administration revoked exemptions from the Biden administration, aiming to balance technology export restrictions on China with the stability of the global electronics industry supply chain. The new proposal requires these two companies to apply for approval once a year to Washington, specifying the exact quantities of equipment, parts, and materials needed. Although this increases administrative complexity, it provides a clear path for the continued operation of their large factories in China.
The purpose of the new plan is to prevent factory upgrades or expansions while ensuring that existing production lines are not disrupted.
