China has initiated two investigations into the U.S. semiconductor sector ahead of scheduled trade talks in Madrid. The Ministry of Commerce announced an anti-dumping probe targeting specific analog integrated circuit (IC) chips imported from the U.S., including commodity interface ICs and gate driver ICs, commonly produced by companies like Texas Instruments and ON Semiconductor. Additionally, China launched an anti-discrimination investigation into U.S. measures against China’s chip industry. (apnews.com)
These actions follow the U.S. adding 23 Chinese companies to its "entity list," imposing restrictions for allegedly acting against U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. The upcoming meetings between U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng aim to address these trade tensions and discuss issues such as export controls and tariffs.
