Foreign media: The US government has granted Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix an annual license to ship chip manufacturing equipment to their factories in China in 2026. This decision is a temporary relief for South Korean companies following the revocation of some technology company exemptions by the US earlier this year.
According to sources, Washington has introduced an annual approval system for exports of chip manufacturing tools to China. Samsung and SK Hynix are key production bases for traditional memory chips in China, and chip prices are rising due to increased demand from AI data centers and supply shortages.
