Just hearing SMIC has been declared a “military end user” by the American Department of Commerce. If true it's a gigantic next step into the chip wars proper by America. SMIC is China's best (only) hope of domestic logic chip production, and this cuts it off from vital US tools

The U.S. has banned Huawei, TikTok, Tencent & SMIC in some form. Also Chinese foreign student enrollment is in decline. Reasonable to expect retaliation against U.S. companies in the coming months. If you invest in tech, time to rebalance your portfolio. https://www.ft.com/...

China is being cut off from the world technology supply chain. I suspect we'll see a larger narrative as to why - mainly to do with the national security of NATO countries. https://www.ft.com/...

“It all depends on how the US implements this. In the worst-case scenario, SMIC is completely cut off, which would severely set back China's ability to produce chips. This would be a tipping point for US-China relations,” said Paul Triolo of Eurasia Group. https://www.ft.com/...

The U.S.-China chip wars continue: U.S. just declared SMIC, China's largest semiconductor maker, a military end-user. Firms will now have to get licenses to ship U.S. tech to SMIC in a potential major blow to China's chip ambitions https://www.wsj.com/... @DanStrumpf @asafitch

And the bear trap closes. This is a crude but effective continuation of the US's tech leverage campaign against China. Without SMIC, China can no longer be a part of the global silicon R&D chain. https://www.ft.com/...
