China on Thursday once again urged the United States to immediately correct its wrongdoings of abusing export control measures, and cease discriminatory measures against China.
Ministry of Commerce spokeswoman He Yongqian called on the U.S. to work with China to honor the consensus reached between the two countries during their economic and trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland, earlier this month, when responding to a media query about any further China-U.S. communication on trade issues following the Geneva talks.
"Since the economic and trade talks between China and the United States in Geneva, the two sides have maintained communication on their respective concerns in economy and trade at multiple levels on multilateral and bilateral occasions. Recently, China has repeatedly made demarches to the U.S. side over its abuse of export control measures in the semiconductor field, among other practices," He said.
"China once again urges the United States to immediately correct its erroneous moves, cease its discriminatory restrictive measures against China, and jointly safeguard the consensus reached at the high-level talks in Geneva with China," said the spokeswoman.
During their high-level meeting in Geneva on May 10 and 11, China and the United States agreed to roll back most of their recent tariffs and call a 90-day suspension in a trade conflict initiated by the U.S.
However, the United States has since announced new export control measures to curb the development of China's semiconductor industry, undermining the consensus reached between the two countries in their Geneva talks.
