they wanted to sanction chip exports to China. China just self sanctioned, saving them the effort. You're welcome.
You can’t fire me, I quit!

The Western MSM quoted as URGE or Persuade but in reality its a WARNING, cause the ship had sail for the Japanese DUVL manufacturer. Anything below ASML NXT 2000i is considered redundant as SMEE SSA800 is at least comparable to NXT1980i. Maybe on production inputs like mask and chemicals BUT we know there is a Chinese equivalent waiting for FAB verification.I think China should not try to persuade Japan or any US vassals as they for sure will follow US. This is just kidding themselves and make themselves look bad. If they want to pressure Japan, show some real threats, like they had done with micron.

From 5+ years ago:This is a good article to read for everyone. It talks about just how low % of the DDIC market Chinese design shops have. This is another market where China will make its mark in the next few years. The Korean & Taiwanese design shops will loose market share as BOE and TCL will gradually pick local supply chain and SMIC
China’s share of global LCD chip market to jump from zero to 12pc
China’s share of the global market for driver integrated circuits (ICs), the high-precision chips used for liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, is poised to rise from almost zero a few years ago to 12 per cent by 2018 as LCD production ramps up on the mainland.
Analysts said the domestic expansion in the design and manufacture of display driver chips is currently led by four mainland suppliers: Hong Kong-listed Solomon Systech and privately held firms NewVision, Galaxy Core and ViewSil.
The driver chips they make serve as essential components in thin-film transistor LCD panels – used on smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computer monitors and television sets – to generate signals that ensure the desired image resolution or text is shown on the screen.
“Although China only started producing TFT-LCD panels about a decade ago, the country has become the world’s third-largest producer on the back of government support and continued investment in manufacturing capacity,” said senior analyst Mark Li, lead author of a Bernstein report about China’s growing market for display driver chips.
