Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 13th: A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated on the 13th that China has noticed that the Biden administration issued artificial intelligence-related export control measures on January 13th. This measure further tightens export controls on artificial intelligence chips, model parameters, etc., and also expands long-arm jurisdiction, erecting obstacles and interfering in normal trade between third parties and China. Previously, U.S. high-tech companies and industry organizations expressed dissatisfaction and concerns through various channels. They believed that the measure was not fully discussed and was hastily formulated. It was an excessive regulation of the field of artificial intelligence and would have major adverse consequences. They strongly called on Biden to The government stopped introducing. However, the Biden administration has turned a deaf ear to the reasonable calls of the industry and insisted on hastily introducing measures. This is another example of generalizing the concept of national security, abusing export controls, and a blatant violation of international multilateral economic and trade rules. China firmly opposes this.
The spokesperson said that the Biden administration has abused export control measures, seriously hindering normal economic and trade exchanges between countries, seriously undermining market rules and international economic and trade order, seriously affecting global scientific and technological innovation, and seriously damaging American companies, including interests of companies around the world. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
