The U.S. intends to get tougher on tech exports to China with the assistance of allied nations, according to Alan Estevez, the Commerce Department undersecretary for industry and security. Estevez said that the end goal was not the “economic destruction of China” but that the administration intended to implement additional restrictions which would deprive China of the components required to build military-grade computers.

“I also keep getting asked, ‘When will that China review be done?’ And that China review will be done when the Chinese change their behavior,” Estevez said during a briefing at the Center for a New American Security. “So we are going to continue to look at not just what we did with semiconductors, but other areas that the Chinese are using to threaten the United States and its allies.”
These other areas include export controls related to quantum computing, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence.

Estevez said he expects to have a deal with U.S. allies such as Japan and the Netherlands in the “near term.”
The Commerce Department announced on Oct. 7 that it was implementing new rules to make it harder for China to acquire advanced semiconductor chips. It also added 31 Chinese factories to a list of companies needing special licenses to receive advanced computing chips or other necessary tech-related manufacturing tools from the U.S. China immediately slammed the export controls, alleging that they would damage U.S. and Chinese companies.
