Currently, the Company is operating as usual, and though the export restrictions will have an impact on us, in the near-term we believe it is manageable. We will continue to follow up on this matter and further evaluate the impact. We thank our customers for their trust, suppliers for their support, and all our fellow employees for their diligent joint efforts,” read SMIC’s official statement.
