Biden administration extends China chip export restrictions to Macau

According to Reuters, on Tuesday local time, the Biden administration included Macau, China, as an object of control and implemented the chip export control measures against mainland China introduced last year. According to Voice of America, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the “interim final rule”, saying that the chip export control measures also apply to the Macau Special Administrative Region and will take effect on January 17. The announcement claimed that the restricted exports of chips and chip manufacturing equipment may be transshipped from Macau to other places in mainland China, so the new measures include Macau in the scope of export restrictions. After the implementation of the measure, US companies will need to obtain a license to export to Macau. | Related reading (Global Times)

In recent years, the United States has imposed economic sanctions on China for no reason, especially in the field of semiconductor chips. And equipment export blockade and containment. It even extended its hand to other countries, such as putting pressure on the Netherlands and asking to stand with the United States. At the beginning of this year, the United States extended its chip control over mainland China to Macau. The United States is doing everything possible to set up obstacles to block the neck of Chinese chips. It can be said that it has sinister intentions.

China is the world’s largest chip purchaser and the world’s largest 5G mobile phone market. The US sanctions have hurt China, as well as the interests of its own companies. Sanctioning China will not be able to fulfill all wishes. In order to maintain its hegemony and suppress China’s criminal behavior, the United States will inevitably stimulate China’s fighting spirit for independence and self-reliance. The United States cannot stop China’s development, and the United States will eventually pay the price for its actions.
