BEIJING (Reuters) – China is highly concerned at Japan’s plan to put export curbs on 23 types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, Wang Shouwen, a Chinese vice commerce minister, said.
Wednesday’s comments came during a meeting with Japan’s ambassador, Hideo Tarumi, in Beijing.
In a commerce ministry statement on Thursday, Wang urged Japan to follow World Trade Organization rules to maintain stability of global supply chains.
