China warns Japan chip curbs would threaten supply chains

China Daily  

The Ministry of Commerce said Japan's plans for export controls on semiconductors will undermine the stability of the global industrial and supply chains as well as disrupt normal business operations. "For some time, certain countries have been stretching the concept of national security and abusing export control measures to impose sanctions aimed at suppressing China's semiconductor and other industries," a spokesperson with the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday. "We hope Japan will take into account the broader picture of international trade rules and China-Japan economic cooperation, and promptly correct these measures to avoid hindering the healthy development of bilateral economic relations." Jin Xu, chairman of the China Association of International Trade, said some countries' efforts to "decouple and sever industrial and supply chains" and build "small yards with high fences" will not benefit the local people and will ultimately harm local businesses.
