The Trump administration on Friday added 60 Chinese institutions to the Commerce Department's Entity List, essentially prohibiting companies from exporting U.S.-developed technology without a license. One of the biggest names on the list is drone-maker DJI, but there's another recent addition that's also significant: Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, or SMIC. SMIC is China's single largest contract chipmaker, so the repercussions could be far-reaching. The designation will essentially restrict the company from acquiring the necessary technology to build chips with newer process nodes. For context, the leading contract chipmakers—TSMC and Samsung—have already moved on to fabricating chips using a 5nm process. "We will not allow advanced U.S. technology to help build the military of an increasingly belligerent adversary," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (via Engadget ).
