China has stepped up the enforcement of its chip restrictions, deploying teams of customs officers at major ports nationwide in recent weeks to conduct rigorous inspections of semiconductor shipments, the Financial Times reported.
The inspections first started with the aim of ensuring local firms stop buying Nvidia's China-specific chips, after China's regulators sought to discourage their purchase, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter.
However, check-ups have been expanded recently to all advanced semiconductor products, in a bid to also combat the smuggling of chips that violate US export restrictions, the report added.
