WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Biden administration announced on Monday a last-minute trade investigation into older Chinese-made "legacy" semiconductors that could heap more U.S. tariffs on chips from China that power everyday goods from autos to washing machines to telecoms gear.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Monday her department's research showed that two-thirds of U.S. products using chips had Chinese legacy chips in them, and half of U.S. companies did not know the origin of their chips including some in the defense industry, findings that were "fairly alarming."
Tai told reporters the trade agency has found evidence that China is targeting the semiconductor industry for global domination, adding: "This is enabling its companies to rapidly expand capacity and to offer artificially lower-priced chips that threaten to significantly harm and potentially eliminate their market-oriented competition."
A Biden administration official said that in addition to examining the impact of the imported chips themselves, the probe would look at their incorporation into downstream components and end-use goods for critical industries including defense, automotive products and medical devices.
It also will target China's production of silicon carbide substrates and wafers for semiconductor fabrication.

It is reported that Dongfang Jingyuan has established good cooperative relations with many leading integrated circuit manufacturing companies in China ( serving 40+ top customers, covering domestic leading wafer foundry companies in multiple fields such as logic, storage, and third-generation semiconductors ).
As we all know, electron beam measurement and testing equipment is one of the most technically difficult equipment categories in chip manufacturing equipment besides lithography machines. As one of the earliest companies in China to enter this field, Dongfang Jingyuan quickly launched electron beam defect detection equipment EBI, key dimension measurement equipment CD-SEM (12 inches and 6 & 8 inches), and electron beam defect re-inspection equipment DR-SEM, firmly occupying the three major sub-segments of electron beam measurement and testing, and leading in product diversification and product maturity. After continuous iterative research and development, product performance indicators have been further improved, leading the rapid development of the domestic electron beam measurement and testing industry.
As a pioneer and leader in domestic computational lithography technology, Oriental Jingyuan's PanGen® computational lithography series products are solving the "bottleneck" problem in computational lithography in China's integrated circuit field. It is also the world's first full-chip reverse lithography mask (ILT) optimization engineering software. At present, its PanGen® platform has formed 8 product matrices, including - precise process simulation, DRC, SBAR, OPC, LRC, DPT, SMO, DMC, and has a complete computational lithography-related EDA tool chain. In addition, Oriental Jingyuan has continuously consolidated the comprehensiveness and expansibility of technology in the field of computational lithography through deep technical cultivation. PanGen ILT® has been innovated again this year, and the new product PanGen DMC® has been launched and verified. In response to the needs of domestic cutting-edge customers, the platform has also updated and iterated the latest PanGen® 5.0 version.
In the "Computational Lithography 3.0 Era", Dongfang Jingyuan will become one of the key supporting technologies for the independent control and self-reliance of my country's semiconductor industry chain, bringing more advanced and forward-looking computational lithography solutions to the industry. On this basis, Dongfang Jingyuan also fully utilized its advantages in computational lithography software OPC and electron beam measurement and testing equipment. After more than two years of iterative upgrades, YieldBook 3.0 version was launched online, becoming the industry's first one-stop yield management software for measurement data (MMS), defect data (DMS), and yield data (YMS), further consolidating its strength and capabilities in the field of yield management.
Looking through the "report card", Dongfang Jingyuan has accumulated enough confidence - it has undertaken three national science and technology 02 major projects, one industrial base strengthening project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and three key research projects of a certain national ministry, and has joined the ranks of the "national team" of integrated circuits; in addition, it has successively won many honors such as "National Specialized and New 'Little Giant' Enterprise", "National High-tech Enterprise", and "Postdoctoral Work Station".

These people are so dumb it's comedic....
Chips are intermediate goods, they need to be installed onto PCBs before they can be used, and almost all PCB assembly happen in China.
The only thing chip tariff will accomplish is widen the already wide price gap between US based contract manufacturers and Chinese ones and kill off the last few American CMs.

I think the real motive is to make new administration (Trump) very difficult, what the heck this clowns would do that while their time in the office only a few weeks left. Very divided country.
I think Trump would do differently, he would do deal with China and get rid of many sanctions
Trump won't, but it doesn't even matter because China won't even if Trump wants to.
Calling time-out when things go south is only possible when you're failing to win, not when you're losing.
