The Biden administration is refining rules aimed at keeping advanced chips and manufacturing gear out of China, seeking to close loopholes that might help its geopolitical rival gain cutting-edge technologies.
The latest regulations are an attempt to streamline export curbs announced last October, according to people familiar with the matter.
