The Biden administration is adding 22 Chinese chipmakers to a trade blacklist, severely restricting the companies’ access to U.S. technology.

The Commerce Department added Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp (YMTC) and 21 “major” Chinese entities working in the domain of artificial intelligence chips to the blacklist.
