As reported by Coinotag, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have received an annual US government license to import chipmaking tools to their China facilities for 2026. This follows the termination of prior validated end-user status, requiring new export licenses for US-origin equipment. China is also pushing chipmakers to use at least 50% domestic equipment for new production capacity, aiming to boost semiconductor self-reliance.
