US lawmaker demands enforcement of chip export controls to China

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The 'Foundry Due Diligence Rule,' intended to prevent Chinese companies from obtaining advanced chips through intermediaries, was not enforced by the Trump administration, creating ambiguity. Representative John Moolenaar has written a letter requesting the Commerce Department clarify its stance and restore the rule's requirements for foundries and OSAT providers to prevent the circumvention of U.S. export controls.
