Bipartisan US Congress is considering legislation to tighten semiconductor controls, with concerns that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which have production bases in China, could be affected.
The US Congress is considering a bill to tighten semiconductor controls. The bill is said to include a policy allowing export controls to be applied to equipment that uses US technology or components if allies do not introduce export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment destined for China within 150 days.
Concerns have emerged that the bill could affect the delivery of manufacturing equipment and the upgrading of facilities at Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which have production bases in China.
