SK Hynix ties new US chip plant to China export rules
Original: EXCLUSIVE: SK Hynix conditions new US factory on more US chip equipment exports to China, sources say
Reuters reports, citing sources, that SK Hynix is making construction of a new US chip factory conditional on Washington relaxing restrictions that prevent US chip equipment makers from exporting to its facilities in China. The story highlights a direct clash between US industrial policy attracting chipmakers onshore and export controls that constrain their existing operations. It is being closely followed given the memory chipmaker's strategic role in the US supply chain.
Why now: It links US efforts to attract chip manufacturing directly to the heated debate over export controls on China.
