US may soon unveil list of Chinese chip factories barred from receiving tech

The United States is drawing up a list of advanced Chinese chipmaking factories barred from receiving key tools, three people familiar with matter said on Thursday, to make it easier for companies to stem technology flows into China.
The list could be released in the next couple of months, one of the people said.
The commerce department in 2022 barred U.S. companies from shipping equipment to Chinese factories producing advanced chips, as the U.S. seeks to severely limit Beijing’s technological advances over national security concerns.
But companies say it is difficult to pinpoint which factories in China produce advanced chips and have long urged the commerce department to publish a list.
The effort shows the United States is taking pains to strengthen its existing chips restrictions on China by making it easier for U.S. firms to comply with restrictions.
