Sweeping export controls announced earlier this month on high-end semiconductors and chip-making tools to China will almost certainly be followed by similar curbs on quantum computing, high-end biotechnology and artificial intelligencesoftware given an overriding US focus on protecting national security over trade or the implications for US companies or the Chinese economy, a senior US official said Thursday.
The administration of President Joe Biden has announced these rules unilaterally, but is aware their effectiveness depends on a unified stance from key allies, including advanced chip tool makers Japan and the Netherlands, with a multilateral agreement expected soon, said Alan Estevez, industry and security undersecretary at the US Commerce Department, adding that the intent is not to impede China economically.
