China has decided to suspend the rare-earth export controls it recently announced, giving a one-year reprieve that allows for ongoing trade talks with the U.S. This move comes after a tariff truce between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Despite the easing of tensions, Trump maintains that certain technologies, like the latest Blackwell chips, will not be sold to China. Additionally, Beijing has banned its major tech companies from acquiring Nvidia AI GPUs, impacting Nvidia's market share in China.

US stops exports of tools to China’s number two chip maker — Hua Hong and Huali Microelectronics reportedly on the cusp of starting a 7-nm fab in Shanghai

The US Department of Commerce has instructed toolmakers to cease exports to Hua Hong, China's second-largest chipmaker, which is gearing up to establish a 7-nm production line in Shanghai. This move is part of the US strategy to impede China's semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts. Companies like TSMC and ASML have also faced restrictions in providing advanced services to Chinese tech firms. The ban on exports could strain US-China relations, impacting both Chinese companies' progress and potential losses for American toolmakers.

U.S. Commerce Secretary says Nvidia still hasn't sold any H200 AI GPUs to China — Chinese government is blocking imports in an attempt to push domestic semiconductor industry

Despite the U.S. lifting the ban on Nvidia selling H200 AI chips to China, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick states that no sales have been made to Chinese companies due to Chinese government restrictions. Beijing aims to boost its domestic semiconductor industry by blocking chip imports. Conflicting reports exist, with Nvidia claiming orders and export licenses for Chinese customers while facing challenges with approvals. The Chinese government's restrictions have led to a decline in Nvidia's market share in China, prompting considerations of black market purchases for H200 chips.

Samsung engineer sentenced to 7 years in prison for selling chipmaking trade secrets to Chinese chipmaker — ex-employee supplied 10nm DRAM data to CXMT for $2 million

A Samsung engineer has been sentenced to seven years in prison for selling chipmaking trade secrets to Chinese chipmaker CXMT. The engineer, known as "Jeon," supplied detailed steps on DRAM manufacturing to CXMT for $2 million, causing potential trillions in losses for South Korea. Jeon's low compensation at Samsung was considered a mitigating factor in the sentencing. The stolen information allegedly helped CXMT advance its technology, leading to concerns about lost sales for Samsung and potential national security implications. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of protecting intellectual property in the tech industry.

Chinese chipmakers made record profit in 2025, despite slipping margins — U.S shipments fall 34% as Beijing shores up local chipmaking efforts

Chinese chipmakers saw record profits in 2025 despite declining margins, with U.S. shipments to China dropping by 34%. Major Chinese wafer-fab-equipment vendors reported record revenues, but margins decreased due to increased competition. U.S. equipment makers like Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA still generated significant revenue from China, although export controls impacted their market share. Beijing aims to localize chipmaking efforts, with domestic equipment accounting for 35% of equipment in Chinese fabs in 2025. The U.S. government is considering stricter restrictions on chipmaking tools to China.
