Saw this on the FT along with a nice write up

The short-term impact of the new restrictions on foreign chipmakers with fabs in China is expected to be limited as they can apply for US government permission to continue receiving US equipment.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, said it had received a one-year authorisation for its Nanjing fab. South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix said it would not be subject to the suspension of US toolmaker supplies as it had been given a one-year grace period as well. Its larger rival Samsung declined to comment
