🇺🇸🇨🇳US House Advances Tech Export Control Package The House Foreign Affairs Committee on April 22 advanced a package of technology export control bills, including the MATCH Act, targeting AI technology flows to China and closing legal gaps that allow access to advanced semiconductors. China's Commerce Ministry responded on April 26, stating it will closely monitor the legislative process and evaluate the impact on Chinese interests. Beijing reiterated its opposition to the use of national security as justification for export controls, warning that if enacted, the bills would severely disrupt global semiconductor supply chains and international trade order. The ministry pledged to take necessary countermeasures to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese enterprises. The bills remain subject to further legislative steps before enactment, but the committee's advancement signals sustained congressional momentum on tech decoupling from China. #USA#China @asianomics
