Joe Biden: Hey, don't sell chips to China.

Also Joe Biden: We're not trying to hurt the Chinese chip sector.

If the US is determined to win a technological race—and it is—then just say so. Why bother with such a blatant lie?

SS: The White House has asked South Korea to urge its chipmakers not to fill any market gap in China if Beijing bans Idaho-based Micron from selling chips, as it tries to rally allies to counter Chinese economic coercion.

While Samsung and SK Hynix will not welcome efforts to curtail their business in China, the US may have some leverage. When the US unveiled sweeping chip-related export controls on China last October, it gave South Korean companies with chip fabrication facilities in China waivers to allow them to export from the country. Those waivers must be renewed later this year. The commerce department said it had no update on the situation.
