![]() ![]() Searching the daily news roundup emails I get from the NYT I found only one article about it, right next to a piece about the two girls who threw soup on the Van Gogh. (Which might not be an exaggeration, though it sounds like it must be.)ĭespite these tweets, the story appears to still be mostly flying under the radar. This is what annihilation looks like: China’s semiconductor manufacturing industry was reduced to zero overnight. (Okay, it probably wasn’t quite that sudden, but that’s what it felt like to me.) This new set of rules attracted almost no attention until exactly a week later when those in the know suddenly started posting apocalyptic sounding tweets. citizens to support the development or production of chips at Chinese fabs without a license. The new rules also restrict the ability of U.S. In fact depending on the number of responses I get, I may give out two of them! So go, and fill out the survey !Ī few weeks ago, on October 7, the US imposed a new set of limits on exporting semiconductors (chips) to China. I’m not kidding about the $100 gift card.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I suffer from the silly and conceited idea that I have something important to say. So why do it?

An occasion on which to reflect on the whole grubby endeavor. It’s only my 22nd newsletter, but given that it’s 2022, that seemed numerologically significant enough for it to also count as a special occasion.
