On October 7, 2025, the US House Select Committee on China released a report pointing out that due to differences in export control regulations among the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands, non-US chip equipment manufacturers are able to sell equipment to some Chinese companies. In 2024, China purchased nearly US$38 billion worth of advanced-process semiconductor equipment from the five major equipment suppliers: Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA, ASML, and Tokyo Electron, accounting for 39% of their total global sales and representing a 66% increase from 2022. The committee called on the United States and its allies to expand the export ban on chipmaking equipment to China and implement broader restrictions, rather than merely targeting specific Chinese chip manufacturers.
