China warns Japan against retaliation of measures due to possible restrictions on discs

China has threatened to take serious economic measures against Japan as Tokyo imposes more restrictions on the sales of the electronic chips industry equipment and their services to Chinese businesses, making the efforts of the United States to isolate the second largest economy in the world and deny the advanced technology. Senior Chinese officials recently presented this position on several occasions during meetings with their Japanese counterparts, according to people who are familiar with the matter. Toyota car secretly told Japan officials that a specific danger is facing the country, namely that Beijing may respond to any new semiconductors who deprive Japan to obtain basic critical minerals in car production, according to the statements of these people, who refuse to name their names while discussing unannounced business. “Toyota” is one of the most important Japan businesses that participate extensively in the development of the country’s chip industry policy, which is partly clear in the fact that it is invested in a new Chips industry complex based on the construction of Taiwan empower manufacturing in Kumamoto, according to one of the people. This makes her concern a great interest to Japanese officials, as well as for “Tokyo Electron” business officials, who specialize in the semiconductor industry that will be affected by the impact as new restrictions are imposed on exports. US pressure on Japan is putting Japan under pressure to place additional restrictions on the capacity of companies, including ‘Tokyo Electron’, to limit the sale of advanced instruments for the electronic disc industry to China, as part of a long -time campaign to limit China’s progress in the semiconductor industry. Some of these people said that senior United States officials worked with their Japanese counterparts within the framework of these discussions to develop a strategy to ensure the adequate supplies of critical minerals, especially as China introduced restrictions on gallium, gallium and graphite exports last year. The concerns associated with “Toyota” also have some historical roots. In 2010, China decided to temporarily suspend a few rare raw materials to Japan after a collision in the waters of the East Chinese Sea, on which each side of the state is to be dependent. It caused a tremor in the Japan electronic sector and also threatened to stop the global supplies of magnetic stones produced by Japan using rare soil material imported from China. Since that date, Tokyo has reduced its dependence on the import of rare soil material from China, which has achieved some success and some failure. Some of the well -known people said that the Biden Administration is confident in the ability to calm Tokyo’s concerns and reach an agreement with Japan by the end of this year. The basis of the direct direct product (FDPR), but there are more striking options, behind the scenes, the United States has an authority known as the basis of the direct direct product, or (FDPR). This rule enables Washington to control sales of products manufactured all over the world if even the least amount of US technology is used. In the current discussions, US officials have so far prevented themselves from calling this power against Japan and other major allies who see this basis with a very strict step. A high -fledged US official said the United States preferred to reach a diplomatic solution, but that does not exclude the use of the foreign product base. Choosing the timing of any complicated agreement will also be due to the US presidential election in November, and the upcoming decline of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida this month. But the senior official in the US administration said that Kishida’s dismantling should not affect negotiations related to increasing restrictions, because Tokyo unanimously built on these policies in all its governmental institutions. The Japanese Ministry of Economics, Trade and Industry did not comment directly when Bloomberg News contacted her. Tokyo Electron also refused to comment. A spokeswoman for ‘Toyota’ said that the automotive business is constantly studying optimal purchase strategies, which is not limited to mineral resources, to meet the needs of its customers. The US Office of the Department of Trade and Safety also refused to comment, which is responsible for export control. America mobilizes its allies against China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it opposed the efforts made by any individual country to politicize the trade and to attract other countries to join any technological siege against China. In October 2022, the United States revealed comprehensive restrictions on the export of discs, and the restrictions focused on both developed equipment and processors followed Japan and the Netherlands that were later suitable for their own special measures. Since then, Washington has been trying to persuade its allies to be fully compatible with the original US restrictions, especially by the ability of the Dutch company “asml Holding” and “Tokyo Electron” to restore the already in China, prohibited for US businesses to do. According to ‘Bloomberg News’, the Netherlands intends to impose some restrictions on some services. Now, the United States wants to impose more US restrictions on the high -frequency memory chips – a basic component of artificial intelligence and additional disk industry instruments, as well as procedures targeting specific Chinese businesses. This led to the introduction of a second group parallel to negotiations with officials in Japan and the Netherlands, where Washington is pushing the two governments to keep up with the possible new US measures, which currently include an exception to the Allies. Pressure on the Biden Administration that the Biden Administration is under pressure from the American industry -and some members of the Legislative Councils of the Democratic Party -to bring about an agreement with the chief unions before moving forward with its own procedures. Representative Zoe Lovgrin and Senator Alex Badilla, who both belong to the Democratic Party from California, wrote in a letter to the senior officials of the Commerce on August 13: “We are very concerned about the damage to US enterprises and US leadership in the field of innovation in semiconductors by unilateral export control and doubtful in their utility.” They wrote that it was “more discomfort” than the possibility of imposing another round one -sided controls in the short term. Asml Holding and Tokyo Electron have achieved major increases in their sales to China since the United States imposed its bases. US businesses, including Applied Mateials, Lam Research Corp. and Kla Corp, still sold large amounts of equipment to China, where businesses pitch the least advanced equipment in an effort to predict the possible new US restrictions. A senior Biden administration official underestimated the importance of the storage effect, saying that it was only related to the least developed machines, and that Beijing’s ability to innovate has strongly impeded her inability to reach advanced tools. Legitimacy urged the US administration to use ‘all types of pressure available’ to ensure the cooperation of the Allies. They said that, if necessary, they would support the imposition of customs duties on the tools of the chip industry from the related countries that compete directly with US businesses for their share in the market. Earlier, US companies, suffering from similar frustration, suggested that the Allies are ordered that their businesses may hold additional export license requirements if they continue to serve customers in China who are prohibited for US businesses from working with them.
