The Ministry of Commerce expressed strong dissatisfaction with the United States launching a 301 investigation into China's chip industry

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the United States' 301 investigation into China's chip industry-related policies. The United States announced this decision on December 23, and this move was accused of having obvious unilateral and protectionist colors. Previously, the United States' 301 tariff policy on China had been ruled by the World Trade Organization to violate WTO rules and was opposed by many member countries. China has made solemn representations to the United States on many occasions. This new 301 investigation may disrupt and distort the global chip industry chain supply chain and harm the interests of American companies and consumers.
