China initiates two investigations into the U.S. semiconductor industry in response to U.S. restrictions.

Foreign Media: China Launches "Dual Investigations" Against the US Semiconductor Industry

On the eve of trade talks, China announced two investigations against the US semiconductor industry: one is an anti-dumping investigation into analog chips produced in the United States (involving companies such as Texas Instruments and Analog Devices); the other is an anti-discrimination investigation into the US restrictions in the field of integrated circuits.

Previously, the United States added 23 Chinese companies to the Entity List and restricted China's access to high-end AI accelerators and some NVIDIA chips. US Treasury and trade officials will meet in Madrid, with topics covering trade, security, and TikTok's fate (Trump said its valuation could reach $50 billion).

China emphasized that the US actions are suspected of discrimination and aimed at curbing China's high-tech development. The anti-dumping investigation is expected to last one year, with a possible extension of six months; the anti-discrimination investigation usually takes three months. This marks a stronger countermeasure taken by China in the chip dispute.
