US Commerce Department attempts to restrict tech exports to China are reportedly having little effect.
The Wall Street Journal said on Tuesday that efforts by Uncle Sam to prevent key technologies from falling into the hands of rogue foreign powers — China in particular – may not be having the intended effect. In all, 2,652 export licenses were granted in 2020, 94 percent of the total requested.
The newspaper reported that of the $125 billion in exports to China in 2020, less than half a percent were subject to licensing requirements, and of those that did, the agency approved the overwhelming majority of requests. The WSJ alleges that US policy intended to limit the export of technologies deemed a national security risk aren’t being effectively enforced, and America continues to ship a wide array of semiconductor, aerospace, and AI/ML tech to China.
America has taken an increasingly nationalist approach to export control over the past two administrations in a rather explicit bid to deny China access to advanced chipmaking tech. In public at least.
The Commerce Department’s latest bans, announced last week, prevent the unlicensed export of ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor materials, electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) technology, and pressure gain combustion (PGC) technology.
