South Korea to raise concerns to US over potential curbs on chipmakers’ China operations

South Korea’s top trade negotiator said on Sunday he would raise concerns about potential US restrictions on chipmakers in China when he meets US officials in Washington this week for the third round of technical discussions in tariff talks.

“I will pass on the concerns among those in the industry and take utmost care,” South Korean Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo told reporters before leaving for Washington, when asked to comment about concerns the US may adopt policies to make it difficult for foreign chipmakers to operate in China.
