A US bill seeks to ban exports of DUV lithography tech to China, whose imports of chipmaking equipment reportedly grew from $10.7B in 2016 to ~$51.1B in 2025
The MATCH Act would tighten existing restrictions on a critical choke point for the AI industry, banning exports of certain manufacturing tools across China.
