China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Saturday that it has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of certain analog IC chips originating from the United States.
The probe was launched in response to an application submitted by a provincial semiconductor industry association on behalf of the domestic industry, the ministry said in a statement.
The investigation will target commodity interface IC chips and gate driver IC chips using 40-nanometer and above process technologies.
The probe is expected to conclude by Sept. 13, 2026, with a possible six-month extension under special circumstances, the ministry said.
