The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responded to reporters’ questions on the United States’ revision of semiconductor export control measures
Question: On March 29, Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an announcement on October 17, 2023. The semiconductor export control rules are revised. What is China's comment?
Answer: China has noticed that the United States has revised its semiconductor export control measures, less than half a year after the United States last introduced measures. Companies from all over the world, including U.S. companies, hope for a stable and predictable operating environment. The United States has generalized the concept of national security, arbitrarily modified rules, and tightened control measures. It has not only set up more obstacles for Chinese and American companies to carry out normal economic and trade cooperation, imposed a heavier compliance burden, but also caused harm to the global semiconductor industry. huge uncertainty. This seriously affects the mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and foreign companies and damages their legitimate rights and interests. China firmly opposes this.
The semiconductor industry is highly globalized. After decades of development, it has formed an industrial structure in which you are among us and you are among us. This is the result of the combined effect of market rules and enterprise choices. China is the world's largest semiconductor market. China is willing to work with all parties to strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation and promote the security and stability of the global semiconductor industry chain and supply chain.
