Several leading Chinese industry associations are advising caution when buying U.S. semiconductor chips following new export control measures implemented by the United States. The China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA), the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the Internet Society of China (ISC), and the China Association of Communication Enterprises (CACE) have each expressed strong opposition to the latest U.S. restrictions.
The CSIA stated that the U.S. export controls have disrupted supply chains and increased operating costs for American companies, affecting the stable supply of U.S. chips. “As a result, related Chinese industries have to exercise caution when procuring chips from the United States,” the association emphasized.
The CAAM echoed these concerns, noting that trust in American chip products is waning within China’s automotive industry. The association welcomed global chip companies to strengthen collaboration with Chinese automotive and chip enterprises through investment, joint research and development, and by sharing development opportunities.
The CACE called on the government to investigate the security of supply chains critical to the nation’s information infrastructure and to implement measures ensuring their secure and stable operation. Similarly, the ISC urged domestic companies to expand cooperation with chip manufacturers from other countries and regions, encouraging the use of chips produced by both domestic and foreign firms operating in China.
These unified statements highlight growing concerns in China’s tech sectors about the impact of U.S. policies on the global semiconductor industry and reflect a push towards greater self-reliance and diversification in chip sourcing.
