Japan’s planned export controls on semiconductors will disrupt normal trade between Chinese and Japanese enterprises and harm the interests of enterprises in both countries, a Commerce Ministry spokesman said on Friday. China reserves the right to take necessary measures to strictly safeguard its legitimate interests, the spokesman said.‘For some time, several countries have generalized the concept of national security and abused export control measures to suppress China’s semiconductor and other industries,’ the spokesperson said, adding, ’We urge the Japanese side to listen to the rational voice of the industry, promptly correct its actions in order to comply with international trade rules and strengthen China-Japan economic cooperation, and prevent relevant measures from hindering the healthy development of bilateral trade.’ On the other hand, the spokesperson emphasised that it is essential to work together to maintain the stability and smooth flow of global industry and supply chains.
