The US could further tighten controls on China\u2019s access<\/a> to sophisticated semiconductor technologies, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said, signaling Washington may intensify its campaign to prevent Beijing catching up in military capabilities.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe cannot allow China to have access<\/a> for their military advancement to our most sophisticated technology,\u201d she told reporters in Manila on Monday. \u201cSo yes, we will do whatever it takes to protect our people including expanding our controls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raimondo, who is leading a\u00a0trade delegation<\/a>\u00a0to the Philippines and Thailand, was asked if the US is planning to add new restrictions on the sale of semiconductors to China. The Biden administration is mulling fresh sanctions on several Chinese tech companies, including memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc., while pushing allies to do more to curb the export of advanced tech to China, Bloomberg has reported in recent days.<\/p>\n

Washington has taken aim at China\u2019s chip industry for years, imposing sweeping controls on the export of advanced semiconductor-making machines and sophisticated chips like those used to develop artificial intelligence. Japan and the Netherlands, the two key countries where chip-making equipment is developed, joined the US effort last year.<\/p>\n

But holes still remain, particularly in the ability of Japanese and Dutch engineers to continue doing some equipment repairs, and in the flow of spare parts that are used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The US government is pressing allies including the Netherlands, Germany, South Korea and Japan to further tighten restrictions, Bloomberg reported last week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security is considering adding ChangXin to its so-called Entity List, which restricts companies\u2019 access to US technology, people familiar with the matter have said. The bureau is also considering restricting five other Chinese firms, the people said.<\/p>\n

The US is constantly assessing if it\u2019s doing enough to ensure that China can\u2019t use American chip and AI technologies for its military, said Raimondo, whose department is responsible for implementing trade sanctions. There\u2019s nothing to announce for now regarding specific new restrictions, she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
