China launches probes into US chips ahead of Madrid trade talks
China launched two probes targeting the US semiconductor sector Saturday ahead of talks between the two nations in Spain this week on trade, national security and the ownership of social media platform TikTok.
China’s Ministry of Commerce announced an anti-dumping investigation into certain analog IC chips imported from the US. The investigation will target some commodity interface IC chips and gate driver IC chips, which are commonly made by US companies such as Texas Instruments and ON Semiconductor.
