The United States is revoking authorisations that allow chipmakers to receive American semiconductor manufacturing equipment in China.
Companies like Samsung and SK Hynix will now need to obtain U.S. licences to buy equipment in China.
The revocations will take effect in 120 days.
This despite South Korea government's plea to Washington highlighting the importance of stable operation of South Korean semiconductor companies in China for the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain.
A spokesman for China's Commerce Ministry said Beijing opposes the U.S. move and will take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.
Analysts say the move will make it harder for Korean chipmakers with facilities in China to continue producing more advanced chips.
