Ministry of Commerce: US abuse of export controls has disrupted the global semiconductor supply chain stability.

Ministry of Commerce held a routine press conference on June 4th. The spokesperson, He Yongqian, responded to questions regarding the US Department of Commerce's blocking of so-called chip "regulatory loopholes" by stating that in recent years, the US has continuously abused export controls under the pretext of national security, severely damaging the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, disrupting the international economic and trade order, and seriously impacting the stability of the global semiconductor industry supply chain. China has consistently opposed this. China urges the US to correct its wrongdoings, stop discriminatory measures against China, and maintain stability in the global industry supply chain. Regarding questions about the US proposal to impose tariffs on so-called forced labor economies, He Yongqian stated that China's position on the 301 investigation has always been consistent. China opposes all forms of unilateral restrictions, including a series of trade restrictions imposed on China under the guise of "forced labor." China has repeatedly expressed its solemn position on this matter. China urges the US to work with China to maintain the stability of Sino-US economic and trade relations.
