The Trump administration appears to have imposed new export controls on chips design programs as it seeks to increase China’s ability to make and use advanced artificial intelligence chips.
Siemens EDA, all rhythm design systems and summaries, confirmed that they had received notifications from the US Trade Department about the new export controls on electronic automation design programs (EDA) to China.
EDA tools are used primarily to help design and check the manufacture of semiconductors, test them and monitor performance and quality. It is used by your chips, chips, network hardware companies, car industry, and many others.
Siemens Eda, a section of German technology companies Siemens, told Tescrunch that it had received a notification from the Ministry of Trade and Security Office (BIS) last week on new export controls on EDA programs to China and Chinese military users.
The company said: “Siemens has supported customers in China for more than 150 years and will continue to work with our customers worldwide to alleviate the impact of these new restrictions during work according to the applicable national export control systems.”
US -based SYNOPSys, which also creates EDA program, He said On Thursday, I also received a similar letter from BIS. The company also suspended its expectations for the third and 2025 year.
The rhythm also receive There is now a need for a notification from BIS that the license is now required for “export, re -export or transportation within the country for the electronic design automation program” for customers in China.
The news was first I mentioned By financial times.
The new export rules come at a time when the United States intensifies its efforts to hinder Chinese companies, as a battle exceeds artificial intelligence rises. But these export controls are increasingly hurt by the American chips industry, which has long been a large market share in China.
NVIDIA alone incurred billions of losses due to H20 sales restrictions and AI Hopper slices for Chinese clients. The company, along with the AMD competition, is said to sell low -energy versions of artificial intelligence chips to Chinese clients.
The US Trade Administration did not immediately refer to a request to comment outside the normal working hours.
