On December 5, during the regular press briefing held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Reuters journalist posed a question concerning the recent statement made by the CEO of U.S.-based Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). The CEO had indicated AMD's readiness to incur a 15% tax in order to export MI308 chips to China and inquired whether China was poised to make the purchase. In response, spokesperson Lin Jian reiterated China's longstanding stance on the matter of U.S. chip exports to China. He conveyed China's expectation that the U.S. would take concrete steps to uphold the stability and seamless operation of the global industrial and supply chains. For specifics, he recommended reaching out to the pertinent Chinese authorities.
