U.S. likely to cap level of S. Korean chips made in China: U.S. official

SEOUL: The United States will likely limit the level of advanced semiconductors made by South Korean companies in China, a senior U.S. official said.

In October, South Korea’s Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the world’s top memory chip makers, received an one-year reprieve from U.S. export restrictions aimed at thwarting Beijing’s technological ambitions and blocking its military advances.
