China on Friday called on the US to “immediately correct its erroneous actions, cease discriminatory restrictions against China, and jointly uphold the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva.”
A spokesperson from the Chinese embassy in Washington said Beijing had “repeatedly raised concerns” with the US over what it described as the “abuse of export control measures in the semiconductor sector.” The US already maintains restrictions on technology exports to China and, on Wednesday, further escalated tensions by pausing additional sales of chip technologies, along with exports of key chemicals and machinery essential to semiconductor production.
Pengyu Liu, a representative from the embassy, noted that both sides had continued to engage in dialogue since the Geneva talks on 11 May, which he said had concluded on a positive note.
