The US commerce department proposed rules in March to restrict access to semiconductor manufacturing and research funds of $52 billion under the CHIPS Act by countries considered to be of concern, including China.

South Korea, a prominent chipmaker and investor in the US chip sector, has requested a review of the regulation that restricts recipients of US funding from constructing new facilities in foreign countries beyond 5% of current capacity.
“The Republic of Korea believes ‘guardrail provisions’ should not be implemented in a manner that imposes an unreasonable burden on companies investing in the United States,” South Korea said, using its official name.
The filing did not provide additional information, however, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, Seoul requested an increase in the limit to 10%.
