China Criticizes US Trade Policies on Chips and Vehicles

Beijing urges Washington to lift sanctions and clarify national security boundaries to stabilize global supply chains.

Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao expressed serious concerns to US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo over US semiconductor policies and restrictions on connected vehicles.
Wang called for the removal of sanctions on Chinese companies and emphasized the need for clear national security boundaries in trade.
The US has recently increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, EV batteries, and solar cells, citing national security risks.
US Commerce Secretary Raimondo reiterated that national security is non-negotiable, while maintaining space for healthy trade.
Both countries agreed to keep communication channels open to address ongoing economic and trade concerns.
