China vows to use anti-sanctions law if US ban on Huawei chips enforced
Beijing has vowed to hit back at the United States'
attempts to ban Chinese-made chips, warning of legal repercussions if the guidelines are enforced.
The Ministry of Commerce has called Washington's measures to prohibit the use of Chinese chips a typical move of 'unilateral bullying and protectionism', according to a statement on Wednesday.
'The US has abused export controls to suppress China, which is a violation of international laws and the principles of international relations. This severely harms the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and undermines China's development interests.'
Organisations or individuals who enforce or assist in implementing Washington's measures would face legal consequences under China's anti-sanction law, the ministry warned.
Passed in 2021, the
Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law stipulates that anyone implementing or assisting sanctions against China is subject to prosecution and liable to pay compensation for losses incurred.
Beijing would closely monitor the US measures and take bold actions to defend its interests, the ministry said.
Last week, the US Bureau of Industry and Security released a set of guidelines banning the use of some Chinese chips globally, including inside China, and restricting the use of US chips to train Chinese artificial intelligence models.

Cathay budget carrier HK Express upbeat on growth despite Japan flight cuts
Cathay Pacific Airways' budget carrier, HK Express , expects passenger numbers to grow by up to 40 per cent this year despite feeling 'some impact' from cuts to summer flights to Japan as a result of Hongkongers avoiding the country over earthquake rumours, its boss has said. Advertisement HK Express CEO Jeanette Mao Jie-qiong said on Wednesday that flight adjustments to Japanese destinations coupled with the grounding of five aircraft this year because of engine problems had posed some challenges. Mao said the carrier had also suffered declining passenger yield, which gauges the average revenue generated per passenger and kilometre, as air fares were dropping following a normalisation process. 'There will be some minor adjustments to Tokyo and Osaka in July and August as people have been affected by rumours of a possible earthquake there during summer,' she said. 'Some flights to these two destinations will be combined so there will be an overall reduction. Advertisement 'There will be some impact on our bookings and flight performance. Coupled with the grounding of five aircraft due to their Pratt & Whitney-made engine problems, these issues will affect our performance this year. 'But we believe this impact is only short term as we're full of confidence in the future prospects of the Japan market … After all, the country is a second home for Hongkongers.'
