Similar to Huawei attacks

Congressional China hawks are urging the Biden administration to restrict sales of chip making tools to Chinese companies.

In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Representative Michael McCaul and Senator Tom Cotton said the rule that requires US licenses to sell semiconductors made abroad with US technology to Huawei should apply to any Chinese company designing more advanced chips at 14-nanometers or below.

The letter, which is dated April 13 and was made public on Thursday, seeks licences for the sale of electronic design automation (EDA) software, among other curbs, on chip-related sales to Chinese companies.

The actions would "ensure US companies, as well as those from partner and allied countries, are not permitted to sell the communists the rope they will use to hang us all", the letter said.

Apparently the letter was not being written in the 1950s and delivered a bit late.
