The United States will likely limit the level of advanced semiconductors made by South Korean companies in China, a senior U.S. official said.
"If you're at whatever layer of NAND, we will stop it somewhere in that range," Estevez said, referring to a flash memory product manufactured by Samsung and SK. He added that the U.S. government was in deep dialogue with the South Korean chipmakers.
"We work with them to ensure that we aren't going to harm our allies' companies. At the same time, we're going to impede the Chinese capability of building capabilities that are going to threaten us collectively," he said. South Korea's industry ministry on Friday said there have been no specific discussions between South Korea and the United States on setting a cap on the technology level.
"Both South Korea and the United States have formed a consensus that current operations and future investment by South Korean chip makers should not be disrupted," the industry ministry said in a statement, adding that the South Korean government plans to closely discuss the extension of chip-making equipment imports to China.
