- U.S. chip-equipment suppliers are pulling out staff based at China’s leading memory-chip maker and pausing business activities there,
- grappling with the impact of Commerce Department semiconductor export restrictions.
- State-owned Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. is facing a freeze in support from key suppliers

Chinese stocks have already taken a hit on this US ban.
