Only a few weeks after the United States and China have taken on significant measures to defuse the growing trade war between the two countries, the tensions evaded-this time on semiconductors.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce in Beijing on Wednesday published a statement that threatened legal action against anyone who applies US export restrictions on Huawei’s chips, according to Bloomberg reports.
This declaration is in response to a set of “directives” published by the Trump administration on May 13 – in addition to the revocation of the rule of dissemination of the artificial intelligence of Joe Biden – which reminded companies that the use of the Ascend AI fleas of Huawei “everywhere in the world” was a violation of the American export rules.
Earlier this week, China said the Trump administration had undermined recent commercial negotiations by issuing these directives.
According to Bloomberg, the American trade service changed the wording of its original guidelines on May 13 to suppress the sentence “all over the world”, according to Bloomberg.
