China has voiced strong opposition to a proposed U.S. Legislative measure aimed at tightening controls on technology exports, warning that the initiative risks destabilizing global trade and disrupting the semiconductor supply chain.
The Chinese government issued an official statement on April 25, 2026, expressing concern over the Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH Act), which recently gained approval from the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. According to the statement, the bill represents an overextension of national security justifications that could undermine the established international trade order.
A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce emphasized that the proposed restrictions would not only affect Chinese enterprises but too severely disrupt the structure of the global economy, particularly in the semiconductor industry—a sector central to modern technological advancement. The official cautioned that such measures could trigger significant instability in worldwide supply chains already strained by geopolitical tensions in other regions.
China has signaled its readiness to implement countermeasures to safeguard its business interests should the legislation advance further. The development underscores the deepening friction between the world’s two largest economies over technology governance and access, with potential ripple effects across industries reliant on advanced chips and computing hardware.
