Japan Strongly Protested! Demands China Revoke Anti-Dumping Decision
Japanese media TBS Television reported on September 8: On the 7th, China announced it would impose high anti-dumping deposit rates on semiconductor chemical products imported from Japan. On the 8th, Chief Cabinet Secretary Toshimitsu Kiuchi stated: “We strongly protest and demand that China revoke this decision.”
Speaking in response to journalists' questions, Kiuchi said: “Export control measures targeting only Japan’s dual-use items violate international norms against imposing export controls selectively on specific countries or groups. Japan has lodged a strong protest and demands the cancellation of this decision.”
On the 7th, China announced that the unfair dumping of “dichlorosilane” gas imported from Japan—used in semiconductor manufacturing and other applications—had harmed China’s domestic industries. Starting from the 8th, it will require Shin-Etsu Chemical Company to pay a 99.2% import deposit, and Denar Silane Company to pay an 80.8% deposit.
At this morning’s press briefing, Chief Cabinet Secretary Toshimitsu Kiuchi strongly protested China’s decision, emphasizing: “While continuing to strengthen cooperation with allied nations, including those in the G7, we will closely coordinate with Japanese companies involved, thoroughly assess the situation and its impacts, and take appropriate measures to ensure that commercial activities are treated fairly.”
Dichlorosilane (SiH₂Cl₂), also known as dichlorosilane or dichlorodihydrosilane, is an inorganic compound classified as a toxic and flammable gas. It is primarily used in semiconductor chemical vapor deposition processes for producing epitaxial films, silicon carbide films, silicon nitride films, silicon oxide films, and polycrystalline silicon films—key materials in the fabrication of logic chips, memory chips, and analog chips.
