The United States is considering stricter measures to pressure Japan and the Netherlands to restrict chip trade with China. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference on the 17th. The reporter asked that the United States is considering taking stricter measures to put pressure on companies from countries such as Japan and the Netherlands to restrict their chip trade with China. What is China's comment on this? Lin Jian stated that China has repeatedly expressed a firm stance on the malicious blockade and suppression of China's semiconductor industry by the United States. The United States politicizes, securitizes, and instrumentalizes economic, trade, and technological issues, continuously increases its chip export controls on China, coerces other countries, suppresses China's semiconductor industry, seriously undermines international trade rules, damages global supply chain stability, and is not conducive to any party. China has always been firmly opposed to this. Lin Jian said that he hopes relevant countries can distinguish right from wrong, resolutely resist coercion, jointly maintain a fair and open international economic and trade order, and truly safeguard their own long-term interests.
