Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Responds to U.S. Tariff Plans on Semiconductors
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, responded at a regular press conference to the U.S. Trade Representative's investigation results, which accused China of using unfair measures to dominate the semiconductor industry and planned to impose additional tariffs on Chinese semiconductors starting from 2027. Lin stated that China firmly opposes the unreasonable suppression and the indiscriminate imposition of tariffs by the U.S., believing these actions will disrupt global supply chain stability, hinder industrial development, and harm the interests of both parties. He urged the U.S. to correct its mistaken approach and, based on the consensus of the two countries' leaders, resolve differences through dialogue and equal, mutually beneficial means, to maintain the stability of Sino-U.S. relations. If the U.S. insists on its position, China will take necessary measures to protect its own rights and interests.
