China Accuses US of Undermining Geneva Talks With ‘Discriminatory AI Chips Measures’

China’s Ministry of Commerce accused the US on Thursday of undermining bilateral consensus from high-level Geneva negotiations after the administration revised export control guidelines targeting Huawei’s Ascend AI chips.

The US Commerce Department altered language in its May 12 policy, initially stating that using Huawei chips “anywhere in the world” violated export rules, to a softened warning about “risks” of using advanced Chinese semiconductors.

“The discriminatory nature and market-distorting essence of the guidelines remain unchanged,” the Chinese ministry declared, noting it had demanded corrections through bilateral channels.

The semantic shift fails to address Beijing’s core grievance: US export controls now explicitly target Chinese firms’ domestic use of locally produced technology, a precedent critics argue weaponizes trade policy beyond national security.

“The US is abusing export controls under baseless accusations, even interfering with Chinese companies’ use of domestically produced chips. This overreach is classic unilateral bullying,” the Ministry added. It warned the measures “severely threaten global semiconductor supply chains” and “gravely disrupt global technological innovation.”

China urged Washington to “stop discriminatory measures” and honor Geneva commitments to “negotiate concerns,” threatening “resolute measures” if harmed further.
