据路透社报道，为芯片业提供复杂且昂贵的设备的公司计划警告特朗普政府，不要将中国顶级芯片制造商SMIC列入黑名单，因为这将损害美国半导体产业。

　　路透社指出，这些公司由半导体和电子制造供应商行业组织SEMI代表，起草了一封信，该信可能会在本周内尽快寄给商务部秘书威尔伯·罗斯。

　　SEMI在信草案中表示，将SMIC列入黑名单，将使美国公司更难为其提供产品，从而损害美国的技术优势，而美国公司每年对其出售的额设备和材料销售额高达50亿美元。

　　该集团在信草案中辩称，将中芯国际列入黑名单将使美国公司更难为其提供产品，从而损害美国的技术优势，而美国公司每年在美国的设备和材料销售额高达50亿美元。

　　他们还认为，此举会让人们认为美国商品交付的“不可靠”，并越来越影响美国企业在全球的市场份额。

　　该组织在全球拥有2400名成员。该组织表示：“我们敦促美国商务部仔细考虑将SMIC加入实体名单可能对美国工业，经济和国家安全造成的近期和长期不利影响。”

　　商务部没有立即回应置评请求。

　　SEMI的SEMI全球公共政策副总裁JoePasetti说：“我们对泄漏给媒体的信函草案不发表评论。”

　　Companiesthat supply the chip sector with sophisticated and expensive equipment plan towarn the Trump administration against a proposal to blacklist China's top chipmakerSemiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation 0981.HK, arguing it wouldbe “detrimental” to U.S. industry.

　　Thecompanies are represented by the semiconductor and electronics manufacturingsuppliers industry group SEMI, which drafted a letter obtained by Reuters thatcould be sent as soon as this week to Commerce Department Secretary WilburRoss.

　　In thedraft letter, the group argues that blacklisting SMIC would jeopardize theUnited States' technological edge by making it harder for U.S. companies to supply thecompany, which accounts for as much as $5 billion in annual U.S. originequipment and material sales.

　　They alsoargue that such a move would “contribute to a growing perception” that the deliveryof U.S. goods is “unreliable” and hit U.S. market share worldwide.

　　“We urge the Department to carefully consider the immediate and long-termdetrimental impacts to U.S. industry, economic and national security that mayresult from the addition of SMIC to the Entity List,” said the group, which boasts 2,400members worldwide.

　　TheCommerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

　　JoePasetti, SEMI's vice president of global public policy at SEMI, said “We don't comment on draftletters leaked to the press.”

　　Reutersreported earlier this month that the Defense Department was working with otheragencies to determine whether to add SMIC to the Commerce Department's so-called “entity list,” which would forceU.S. suppliers to seek hard-to-get licenses before shipping to the company.Shares of the company plunged by nearly a quarter on the news.

　　While theofficial did not reveal the motive for the proposed action, SMIC's relationship tothe Chinese military is under scrutiny, sources told Reuters, as theadministration increasingly trains its focus on China's military muscle.

　　The entitylist has been used as a key tool by the administration to hammer Chinesecompanies under scrutiny in Washington, from telecoms giant Huawei oversanctions violations to surveillance equipment producer Hikvision 002415.SZ foraiding in the repression of Uighur minorities.
