Foreign Ministry: The US is deliberately suppressing China's chip industry

The implementation of semiconductor export control measures by the United States against China constitutes discriminatory practices against China and violates the principle of most-favored-nation treatment under Article 1 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The United States blacklisted relevant Chinese telecommunications equipment companies on the grounds of threatening network information security and banned Chinese telecommunications equipment from entering the US market, in violation of the principle of general elimination of quantitative restrictions stipulated in Article 11 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. At the same time, the US ban also violates the relevant provisions of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade.

"The US often talks about 'international rules', but what it really does is ignore and break the rules." "She said.

 The NVIDIA RTX4090 chip is positioned as a consumer-grade graphics card, mainly aimed at "hardcore" computer gamers. Affected by US export control measures, this chip was forced to be removed from the Chinese market. The US has also coerced some countries into suppressing relevant Chinese companies, which has nothing to do with security and is a typical act of economic coercion.

"Facts clearly show that the US is trying to suppress the development of China's chip industry, not out of 'national security' considerations, let alone legitimate competition, but unilateral bullying without any principle or bottom line, depriving emerging markets and developing countries of their right to pursue a happy life."  This self-serving approach is bound to shoot itself in the foot.
