The United States launches Section 301 investigation into China's mature process chips

On December 23, 2024, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced a Section 301 investigation into China's mature process chips. This move has attracted the attention of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA). John Neuuffer, president and CEO of SIA, said that China plays an important role in the global semiconductor industry and is working hard to develop an independent semiconductor industry. He warned the US government to consider carefully before taking any action and work closely with the industry.
