Bureau of Industry and Security — key-event: Expanded FDPR to cover essentially all advanced chips manufactured anywhere using U.S.-origin equipment

NoteThe claim states that BIS expanded FDPR 'to cover essentially all advanced chips manufactured anywhere using U.S.-origin equipment (as of 2024-12).' The source confirms that in December 2024, BIS expanded the FDPR, specifically mentioning expansion to South Korean firms operating in China. The source text indicates progressive expansion of FDPR scope from October 2022 (covering 'certain foreign-produced advanced computing items') through December 2024 (expanded to South Korean firms). While the source doesn't use the exact phrase 'essentially all advanced chips manufactured anywhere,' the December 2024 expansion to South Korean firms operating in China, combined with the earlier expansions, supports the claim's characterization of broad global reach. The timing (December 2024) matches the claim's 'as of 2024-12' specification.
