WASHINGTON D.C.: The U.S. is considering limiting shipments of U.S.-made chipmaking equipment to China, including to Yangtze Memory Technologies, according to media reports.The potential move is part of the efforts of the administration to halt China’s semiconductor sector advances and protect U.S. companies.However, it could also affect South Korean chipmakers with factories in China, including Samsung Electronics, which has two factories in the country, and SK Hynix, which is buying Intel Corp’s NAND flash memory chips manufacturing business there.
