China has flagged concerns about US legislative efforts to tighten semiconductor export controls, saying the measures could disrupt global supply chains if enacted. The House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced multiple export-control bills targeting chips.
Beijing stated it is closely monitoring the US legislative process following the committee's advancement of the semiconductor-focused export bills.
China's warning reflects growing tensions over semiconductor trade between the two countries. The bills under consideration would expand restrictions on chip exports to China, a move the US has pursued to maintain technological advantages in critical sectors.
Chip manufacturing and supply chains span multiple countries, with China a significant player in production and consumption. Any major shift in export policies could create bottlenecks affecting global semiconductor availability and pricing.
The export-control measures represent part of broader US efforts to restrict China's access to advanced technologies. Previous restrictions have already impacted supply chains, including limits on chip-making equipment sales.
The bills now move forward for consideration, with their passage not guaranteed. China's public statement signals it will continue to engage with and monitor US legislative developments on the issue.
