China Imposes Provisional Anti-Dumping Measures on Japanese Chipmaking Chemical Imports
China has imposed provisional anti-dumping measures on imports of dichlorosilane, a key chemical for semiconductor manufacturing, from Japan. The Chinese commerce ministry cited preliminary evidence of dumping harming its domestic industry and requires Japanese exporters, including Shin-Etsu Chemical and Denal Silane, to pay deposits up to 99.2%. Japan has protested the controls, with its government pledging to respond appropriately amid ongoing diplomatic tensions related to Taiwan. The investigation and measures remain provisional pending a final ruling.
