A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters on issues related to Anshi Semiconductor.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce responded to questions from reporters regarding the ASML semiconductor issue. The Ministry of Commerce stated that China, with a responsible attitude towards the stability and security of the global semiconductor supply chain, announced on November 1 that it would exempt exports that meet the conditions and strive to promote ASML (China) to resume supply. However, the Dutch side continues to act in its own way, without taking actual actions to solve the problem, which will deepen the negative impact on the global semiconductor supply chain. This is not what China and the global industry want to see. China hopes that the Dutch side will take a responsible attitude from the perspective of maintaining the overall situation of China-Netherlands and China-EU economic and trade relations, as well as the stability and security of the supply chain, and work together with China to stop interfering in the internal affairs of enterprises and find constructive solutions to the ASML semiconductor issue. At the same time, China will firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and strive to stabilize the smooth operation of the global semiconductor supply chain.
