Reuters exclusively reports amid shortage, U.S. suppliers to Chinese chip giant SMIC struggle to get export licenses

Many licenses for U.S. suppliers to ship an estimated $5 billion dollars’ worth of equipment and materials have not come through, sources said, though many firms submitted applications soon after the Chinese company was blacklisted in December.
