In order to further restrain and suppress China in the field of technology, some members of the US Congress with anti-China sentiment once again proposed legislation last week that aims to crack down on the export of chip manufacturing equipment to China. The content of the bill is so egregious that it even poses a threat to the global supply chain. On April 8, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported that the new US bill puts particular pressure on allied countries such as the Netherlands and Japan, urging them to align more closely with US restrictions on chip exports to China. Analysts say that the bill is aimed at further restricting China's access to advanced chip manufacturing equipment, signaling a further escalation in the US efforts to contain China's semiconductor industry.
