A chip industry group is warning that if U.S. allies do not adopt curbs on semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China that are comparable to U.S. controls, they will not be effective.

However, in a lengthy comment dated Jan. 31 on the October regulations, the group expressed concern that the allies' curbs would not be nearly as restrictive as the U.S. controls. The U.S. rules restrict shipments of certain chipmaking tools to China.

The U.S. created the rules in an effort to slow Beijing's technological and military advances.
