In October 2022, the United States announced measures aimed at controlling China’s access to advanced semiconductor chips, including export restrictions on both advanced chips and the equipment needed to manufacture them (Reuters). Since then, the United States has attempted to convince key allies, most notably Japan, Netherlands, and South Korea, to join the ban as well (Bloomberg).  In January 2023, President Biden met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to continue discussions.
