Blocks U.S. companies from selling advanced computer chips to foreign adversary countries and related entities.
This bill would stop U.S. companies from selling advanced computer chips to countries considered foreign adversaries, including Macau and Hong Kong, and to companies based in those countries. Currently, there isn't a direct law that bans these sales, but this bill would make it illegal to issue licenses for them, with some exceptions for chips not used in data centers.
Currently, the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 governs export controls. However, there is no explicit law that requires the denial of licenses for exporting advanced integrated circuits to foreign adversary countries or entities based there. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Commerce would be legally required to deny all license applications for exporting, reexporting, or transferring advanced integrated circuits (as specifically defined) to foreign adversary countries or companies headquartered in them. There would be an exception for chips not designed for data centers.
