☆ What's a supercomputer? How the U.S. will decide who to punish with China tech curbs

Oct 7 (Reuters) - Deciding who gets hurt by sweeping new U.S. curbs on selling technology to China will come down in part to what constitutes a "supercomputer," experts told Reuters. Around the world, the semiconductor industry on Friday began to wrestle with wide-ranging U.S. restrictions on selling chips and chip manufacturing equipment to China. Shares of chip equipment makers drooped, but industry experts said a new U.S. definition of a supercomputer could be pivotal to the new rules' impact on China. The new definition is unlikely to change as industry technology improves. "The issue is that the definition of a supercomputer will change over time," he said by email.
☆ Explainer: What is 'FDPR' and why is the U.S. using it to cripple China's tech sector?

Now, the United States is going after China's advanced computing and supercomputer industry. The provision called the foreign direct product rule, or FDPR, was first introduced in 1959 to control trading of U.S. technologies. So they expanded the FDPR to control trade of chips made using U.S. technology or tools. The latest move would ban any semiconductor manufacturing firm that uses American tools - which most do - from selling advanced chips to China, said Karl Freund, a chip consultant at Cambrian AI who watches the supercomputing space. In that case, it could take China five to 10 years to catch up to today's technology, he added.
