Samsung and other Korean companies get US approval to bring chip-making tools into China
America has granted Samsung and SK Hynix yearly permits to send chipmaking tools to their Chinese plants until 2026. This replaces an older system with stricter annual reviews. These licenses allow factories to operate and maintain equipment. However, they do not permit expansion or upgrades to the newest technology. The US aims to limit China's access to advanced chip-making tools.
