WASHINGTON (Financial Times) -- The Biden administration is set to put chipmaker Yangtze Memory Technologies on a trade blacklist, in the latest U.S. effort to target Chinese technology companies that it believes threaten its security.
The U.S. commerce department will place YMTC and other Chinese companies on its "entity list" as early as this week, according to three people familiar with the plan. U.S. groups are barred from selling technology to companies on the list unless they have a hard-to-obtain export license.
