The United States launched a 301 investigation into the relevant policies of our country's chip industry, and the Ministry of Commerce responded: disrupting and distorting the global chip industry chain supply chain is a mistake again and again

On December 23rd, US time, on December 23rd, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced the launch of a 301 investigation against China's chip industry-related policies. China is strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly opposes it. The US 301 investigation has obvious unilateral and protectionist overtones. Previously, the US 301 tariffs against China have been ruled by the WTO to violate WTO rules and have been opposed by many WTO members. China has repeatedly lodged stern representations with the US. The US launched a new 301 investigation against China's chip industry-related policies out of its suppression of China and domestic political needs, which will disrupt and distort the global chip supply chain and harm the interests of US companies and consumers. It is a mistake again and again. China urges the US to respect facts and multilateral rules and immediately stop its wrong practices. China will closely monitor the progress of the investigation and will take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its rights and interests.
