Abstract: Abstract The development of China’s semiconductor industry has become an essential aspect of high-quality growth in the new stage. The vulnerability of the semiconductor supply chain has emerged as a crucial indicator of the industry’s progress. This piece of writing presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of U.S. export restrictions on China’s technology. To this end, it examines updates to the entity list, and analyzes monthly trade data for semiconductor manufacturing products from 2018 to 2021 to assess the impact of these controls on China’s semiconductor supply chain vulnerability. The article also delves into the role of innovation in this mechanism. The study shows that US export control measures unexpectedly reduced China’s semiconductor supply chain vulnerability. External supply and import demand of China’s semiconductor manufacturing products subject to control were significantly reduced, with limited impact on the industry’s development. US investment in the Asia-Pacific ICT industry contributed to this outcome, and export controls stimulated China’s independent innovation.
