The United States has canceled restrictions imposed on the exports of the developers of the chips design and the ethane producers to China, in a new indication of the decline of trade tension between the two sides after moving by China regarding Rare minerals.
The US Department of Commerce has informed the three leading companies in the field of software design software – Senebsis, Cadens Design Systems, and German Siemens – that the requirements for obtaining governmental business licenses in China are no longer valid, according to statements by companies.
Earlier yesterday, Wednesday, the United States sent letters to ethane producers to cancel a condition for an export license in late May and June.
A strict campaign
Officials launched White House A strict campaign on chips design software (electronic design automation) for China in May, as part of a series of procedures in response to the restrictions that Beijing imposed on rare rare ground metal shipments.
Under a trade agreement concluded last week, it promised Washington By allowing the export of chips design software, as well as ethane and jet engines, to China, provided that Beijing first meets its pledge to accelerate approvals to export the basic metals used in everything, from wind turbines to aircraft.
The lifting of restrictions on chips design software is an indication that the agreement reached in London, which would return the two countries to the terms of an agreement concluded the previous month in Geneva are already in implementation, in addition to the sales of chips software, the United States allowed last week to manufacturers of an essential petroleum product to transport gas tankers to Chinese ports, then these licensing requirements were completely canceled this week, according to what is. It was mentioned by Al -Ethan on Wednesday.
Long -term goal
Beijing achieved a long -term goal, which is Washington’s acceptance of negotiations on export controls, a national security tool that Washington has always been considered indisputable, at the negotiating table in trade talks, according to Bloomberg.
For years, the United States has used export controls to reduce China’s arrival in advanced chips and equipment needed to manufacture them, in an attempt to prevent Beijing from developing advanced industrial intelligence that may benefit its army, and expanding the scope of this campaign – to include chips design software used in designing everything starting from the TV processors and advanced Apple devices to simple parts such as energy regulating components – long -term priority for some falcons Americans face ChinaAccording to Bloomberg.
According to Bloomberg, restrictions on chips design programs were not normal because American officials provided only a few details about what is permitted to export and what is not allowed, and they are criteria usually discussed by eorage during an official organizational process. After that, just two weeks after imposing it, the head of the National Economic Council, Kevin Haysit, said, speaking at the beginning of the talks London Commercial, that US It may reduce semiconductor controls that he described as “very important” for China.
