In recent years, the United States and China, the world's leading economic powers, have deepened their confrontation in order to compete for the position of 'the world's number one economic power.' The US government has been working to eliminate some Chinese products since around 2019, and the regulations are getting stricter day by day. In September 2022, it notified semiconductor companies such as NVIDIA and AMD that it had introduced new licensing requirements for exports to China of high-performance semiconductors needed for AI-related applications.

Newly, the Financial Times and Bloomberg report that the US government plans to add more than 30 Chinese companies, including YMTC, to its trade ban list. This is a measure to prohibit 'the export of American-made parts to China by American companies.'
The U.S. Department of Commerce could implement the regulations as early as the third week of December 2022, according to three people familiar with the plan. US companies will not be able to export chips to companies on the list unless they have hard-to-get export licenses.
It was reported that YMTC violated US export regulations by supplying NAND memory chips for smartphones to Chinese communication equipment maker Huawei. In response, some lawmakers in the United States were pressuring the Biden administration to add YMTC to the trade ban list. In addition, it is reported that some lawmakers also warned Apple that 'purchasing YMTC chips will expose them to strict surveillance.'
On October 7, 2022, the U.S. government added more than 30 Chinese companies, including YMTC, to the unverified end-user list as ``possibly diverting American technology for unauthorized uses.'' However, at this point, exports to YMTC and others were not completely regulated, and a grace period was set for trading companies.
On the other hand, the idea of adding YMTC to the trade ban list has existed for a long time, and Republican Congressman Michael McCall has announced that YMTC will be added to the trade ban list for more than a year from 2021. seems to have put pressure on ``The US Department of Commerce should list more companies and actively add them to the list,'' McCall said.
The U.S. government is negotiating an agreement with Japan and the Netherlands to coordinate export controls to China in order to prevent Japanese and Dutch semiconductor manufacturers from exporting high-performance semiconductors to China. reported.
The Chinese side has just filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against US chip export restrictions to China. However, the US side has shown the view that filing a complaint to the WTO about semiconductor export restrictions is off the mark.
