A Chinese chipmaker has asked all of its U.S. employees in core tech positions to leave as the company struggles to comply with new U.S. export controls, according to a new report.
The move by Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) follows Apple’s decision to abort plans to use its memory chips, following Washington’s imposition of tighter export controls.
.
A person close to the matter told The Financial Times that asking staff to resign was "necessary for the company and the right move for employees' personal risk as well."
It remains unclear how many U.S. citizens and green card holders would be forced to leave. People close to the company told The Times that several employees have already left the country.
The department said its updated export controls are focusing on these areas because China can use the chips, supercomputers and semiconductors to create advanced military systems — including weapons of mass destruction — commit human rights abuses and improve the speed and accuracy of its military decision-making, planning and logistics.
The Commerce Department, which consulted with close allies and partners on its control efforts, said the updates are part of ongoing efforts to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
"The threat environment is always changing, and we are updating our policies today to make sure we're addressing the challenges posed by (China) while we continue our outreach and coordination with allies and partners," Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez said in a statement.
Tensions have been rising between the U.S. and China over technology and security. Last month the Chinese government called on Washington to repeal its technology export curbs after California-based chip designer Nvidia said a new product might be delayed and some work might be moved out of China.
