China Condemns US Export Controls on Semiconductors

China's Ministry of Commerce has issued a strong condemnation of the United States, describing recent U.S. actions as "typical unilateral bullying." The ministry's spokesperson criticized the U.S. for exceeding its authority through the misuse of export control measures, particularly those aimed at Chinese semiconductor products. These actions, according to the spokesperson, are not only discriminatory but also distort the market and pose a threat to the stability of global semiconductor supply chains.

The spokesperson emphasized that the U.S. measures have severely infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, disrupting global technological innovation. China has called on the U.S. to immediately rectify its actions and cease these discriminatory measures. The ministry urged the U.S. to collaborate with China to uphold the agreements reached during high-level talks and foster sustainable, long-term, and mutually beneficial bilateral economic and trade relations.

China has warned that if the U.S. continues to cause substantial harm, China will take decisive measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests. The ministry's position underscores China's firm opposition to what it views as unilateral bullying and its dedication to safeguarding its national interests in the face of perceived U.S. overreach. The situation reflects the ongoing tensions between the two economic superpowers, with each side accusing the other of unfair trade practices and protectionism.
