Overview
US may cancel China facility technology exemptions; however, with mature processes in place, case-by-case reviews are expected to keep the supply chain stable with limited market impact.
Key Highlights:
- The US is assessing the cancellation of technology exemptions for its facilities in China, opting for a case-by-case review.
- Chinese sites mostly use mature manufacturing processes, focusing on non-cutting-edge products that lower immediate supply risks.
- While the withdrawal of exemptions might affect capacity upgrades and current operations, overall supply chain stability is expected to remain manageable.
- Certain key facilities, due to their product positioning and market demands, are likely to still secure approval.
