The US is trying to stop China's progress in the Semiconductor industry, which is vital for everything from phones to weapons of war.
In October, Washington announced some of the broadest export controls yet, requiring licences for companies exporting chips to China using US tools or software regardless of where they're made in the world.
US citizens and green card holders can't work for some Chinese chip companies. There are green card holders who can work in the country.
The development of high-end semiconductors will be affected by this.
Artificial intelligence and military hardware are powered by advanced chips.
China's use of technology poses a threat to the US, according to the US.
The rules were announced to make sure that sensitive technologies with military applications were not acquired by China.
He said that the threat environment is constantly changing and that they are updating their policies to address the challenges.
China has characterized the controls as technology terrorism.
Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea are some of the countries in Asia that make chips.
There were three important developments in the chip conflict over the last week.
Major chipmaker YMTC has been added to Washington's "entity list".
American companies will need permission from the government to sell certain technologies.
The US restrictions have consequences. Arm said last week that it was not selling its most advanced designs to Chinese companies because of US and UK controls.
Arm is committed to adhering to all applicable export laws and regulations in the countries in which it does business.
China has complained to the World Trade Organization about the US's export controls on technology.
This is the first WTO case Beijing has brought against the US.
The US is abusing export controls to maintain its leadership in science, technology, engineering and manufacturing according to China.

The US does not intend to remove the measures.
Japanese and Dutch companies may not be able to sell advanced products to the Chinese market.
Jake Sullivan, a White House national security advisor, said on Monday that the US had talks with the two major suppliers of chip making equipment about adopting similar US controls on Beijing.
Mr Sullivan told reporters that he wasn't going to make any announcements. We are very pleased with the candour, the substance and the intensity of the discussions.
The shortage of Semiconductors could be a problem for you.
The US controls don't only focus on chipmakers. The manufacturers of chip making equipment are affected as well.
Big companies in Japan or the Netherlands are at risk of losing out on a large buyer of their machines.
Peter Wennink questioned if the Netherlands should restrict exports to China.
The Dutch government stopped ASML from selling its most advanced machines to China due to US pressure.

Pressure is being put on chipmakers to make more advanced chips.
Apple's new laptop will include chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. A human hair is roughly 50,000 to 100,000 micrometres.
Even though Beijing has said it wants to become a superpower in the sector, analysts say US controls could put China further behind other chip-making countries.
China's chip industry has been isolated by the US even though the latest measures are not as sweeping.
