Global Times-Global Network Reporter Wu Yuanchun: At the regular press conference chaired by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning on October 16, a foreign media reporter asked questions about the US restriction of chip exports to China. It is said that the United States plans to take measures to prevent American chipmakers from selling to China bypassing government restrictions to close the previous loophole. In addition, the Biden administration is expected to further restrict the sale of chips to China. In response to this question, Mao Ning issued a Chinese response.
Mao Ning said that China has made its position clear many times, and we are firmly opposed to the issue of US chip export control to China. We believe that the US should stop politicizing, instrumentalizing and weaponizing economic, trade and technological issues, and stop disrupting the stability of global production and supply chains. China will pay close attention to relevant developments and resolutely safeguard its own rights and interests.
As Mao Ning emphasized, the US chip export restriction policy has attracted great attention from China. Such restrictions are not only a matter of trade and technology, but also involve the stability of global production supply chains. Chips are a core component of the modern technology industry and are widely used in various fields, including communications, electronic devices, automobiles, artificial intelligence, etc. Restricting chip exports to China will seriously affect China's scientific and technological development and the normal operation of the industrial chain.
China stressed that economic, trade and science and technology issues should be cooperated and dialogue on the basis of equality, fairness and mutual benefit, and should not be politicized. The two sides should resolve their differences through dialogue and cooperation, rather than adopting unilateral restrictive measures. China has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the global production and supply chain and promoting the healthy development of international trade and scientific and technological cooperation.
At the current critical juncture of global economic recovery, countries should strengthen cooperation and jointly address challenges, rather than adopting unilateral and protectionist approaches. China hopes that the US side can take an objective view of China-US economic, trade and scientific and technological relations, abandon zero-sum thinking, and promote China-US relations to return to a stable and sustainable development track.
To sum up, China urges the United States to stop politicizing chip export restrictions and stop disrupting the stability of global production supply chains. China will pay close attention to relevant developments and resolutely safeguard its own rights and interests. The two sides should resolve differences through dialogue and cooperation and return China-US relations to a stable and sustainable development track. #头条创作挑战赛#
