On September 13th, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced two key actions: an anti-dumping investigation into U.S.-origin imported analog chips, and an anti-discrimination investigation into U.S. measures targeting China’s integrated circuit (IC) sector—drawing immediate industry attention.
The China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) quickly voiced full support. It stressed that a fair market is vital for semiconductor development, urging enterprises to focus on tech innovation, industrial chain collaboration, and equitable international cooperation to drive industry progress. The CSIA also pledged to assist investigation authorities in safeguarding fair trade and industry rights.
The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME) also backed MOFCOM’s efforts to protect Chinese enterprises’ legitimate interests. It criticized the U.S. for overusing "national security" to impose export controls and "long-arm jurisdiction" on China’s IC sector, which harms Chinese businesses and disrupts global supply chains.
MOFCOM’s move reflects China’s resolve to defend domestic industry rights. The anti-dumping probe follows the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Anti-Dumping, while the anti-discrimination probe adheres to the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China—both aimed at creating a fairer environment for China’s semiconductors.
ICgoodFind： we view this investigation as highly significant for China’s domestic semiconductor industry, with its future developments worth closely monitoring.
