TAIPEI/TOKYO -- The U.S. is implementing new export controls on chipmaking equipment and quantum computing technologies as it continues efforts to curb China's advances in such fields.

The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on Thursday published the new rules, which become effective immediately although there is a 60-day comment period open to the public.
