Since semiconductors have both civilian and military applications, U.S. export control policy treats the equipment and materials used to manufacture semiconductors as "dual-use" items, and controls the export of these items through licensing requirements to sensitive destinations such as China. [We updated] our 2002 report on China's semiconductor manufacturing capabilities to address the (1) evolution of China's capabilities since 2002, (2) changes to U.S. export control policies over the sale of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials to China since 2002, and (3) the advantages and limitations of these changes. 517 $aExport controls 606 $aSemiconductor industry$zUnited States 606 $aSemiconductor industry$zChina 606 $aExport controls$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology transfer$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign economic relations$zUnited States 615 0$aSemiconductor industry 615 0$aSemiconductor industry 615 0$aExport controls 615 0$aTechnology transfer$xGovernment policy 615 0$aNational security 712 02$aUnited States.$bCongress.$bHouse.$bCommittee on Foreign Affairs. 801 0$bDID 801 1$bDID 801 2$bDID 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697860703321 996 $aExport controls$93422897 997 $aUNINA
