China calls for WTO review of US-led chip export restrictions

Beijing has asked the United States, Japan and the Netherlands to confirm the existence of an alleged agreement between the three countries to curb semiconductor exports to China, state media reported Wednesday.

Beijing’s representatives issued the request during a regular meeting this week at the World Trade Organization (WTO), according to a state television broadcast.

Representatives demanded that the three countries “notify the WTO of the agreement and subsequent measures, and (called) on the WTO to strengthen supervision of the measures”.
