China is concerned about Japan’s intention to impose export
controls on certain types of semiconductor products, which could
damage stability in global supply chains, Azernews
reports, citing the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic
of China.

“The appropriate measures proposed by the Japanese side will
seriously affect the normal trade exchanges between Chinese and
Japanese companies, harm others and will not benefit itself, as
well as damage the stability of global supply chains,” the
statement said.

China also called on Japan to proceed from the general situation
in bilateral economic and trade relations and jointly maintain the
stability of global production chains. “China will take the
necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and
interests of Chinese enterprises,” the Ministry of Commerce of the
People’s Republic of China said.

The ministry also drew attention to the fact that in the field
of semiconductor manufacturing, after several decades of
development at the global level, a model has emerged that combines
elements of the market and corporate choice. However, for some
time, individual countries, under the pretext of ensuring national
security, often abused export control measures, deviated from the
principles of free trade, which seriously affected the stability of
global production and supply chains, the ministry said.
