The U.S. government has intensified restrictions on Chinas semiconductor industry, affecting economies like Singapore. As a key source of semiconductor equipment imports for China, Singapore faces stricter controls. The U.S. has expanded the scope of the Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR), posing potential challenges to Singapores semiconductor and high-tech exports. Singapore must remain vigilant against becoming a transit point for whitewashed products and consider deepening cooperation with exempt countries to enhance its position in the semiconductor supply chain.
