United States government officials have initiated talks with China’s leading supplier of semiconductor manufacturing equipment about Washington’s latest hi-tech export restrictions, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

US trade officials from the American embassy in Beijing held talks with executives of Naura Technology Group last week at the Chinese company’s headquarters in the nation’s capital, according to the person, who declined to be named because the discussions were private.

The meeting came weeks after a Naura subsidiary, Beijing Naura Magnetoelectric Technology, was among 31 Chinese tech firms, research institutions and related entities added by Washington to the US Unverified List (UVL).
