The United States, as reported by FT and Mobile World Live, is ramping up efforts to limit China's semiconductor advancements by urging allies to enforce stricter chipmaking restrictions. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to curb China's technological growth amid security concerns. Despite these efforts, Huawei achieved an advanced chip breakthrough last year by developing a 7nm semiconductor using technology from U.S. companies Applied Materials and Lam Research, as reported by Bloomberg. This chip, produced for Huawei by SMIC in 2023, underscores the ongoing reliance of Chinese companies on foreign technology for critical components in their semiconductor production. Paul Triolo from CSISCBE highlighted a multi-part strategy by the Chinese semiconductor industry to reduce dependence on foreign technology, including focusing on technologies already under pressure or likely to face restrictions. However, the production of the 7nm chip using U.S. technology before the export controls were announced indicates the challenges in completely detaching from global supply chains.

Remember a few months ago when China produced a 7nm chip and a bunch of people were yelling that "export controls are failing"? Turns out the 7nm chip was created using U.S. equipment bought *before* the export controls were announced. https://t.co/5e8nx3L8rk
