Trade-Policy Timeline — the dated log of semiconductor trade-policy actions (export controls, entity listings, license policies, tariffs, subsidies, retaliation) anchored to GOVERNMENT PRIMARY documents (Federal Register / BIS, USTR, MOFCOM, METI, EU, Netherlands…), back to the Oct 2022 BIS advanced-computing rule. Each row: jurisdiction, agency, event_type, title, published/effective dates, affected_entities, node_threshold, a document reference (e.g. Federal Register cite), source URL, verbatim quote.
USE THIS for: "what export-control rule changed in December 2024?", building a policy timeline, "which actions named SMIC?", grounding a geopolitics/supply analysis in the actual published action.
DO NOT USE for: analysis/commentary on policy (use get_market_intelligence); rumored or anticipated actions (only PUBLISHED actions are recorded).
Filters: jurisdiction (us|china|japan|netherlands|korea|taiwan|eu|uk|other), agency (BIS|USTR|MOFCOM|METI|EU-COM…), event_type. Latest slice for all tiers; full history Pro (never a 403). Cite as "Silicon Analysts — Trade-Policy Timeline".
