China says U.S. controls on semiconductor firm break WTO rules
The U.S. decision to cut off a Chinese state-backed chipmaker from U.S. suppliers amid allegations the firm stole intellectual property breaks World Trade Organization rules and aims to protect a U.S. monopoly, China told a WTO meeting on Tuesday. Last month the U.S. Commerce Department put Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co Ltd on a list of entities that cannot buy components, software and technology goods from U.S. firms. U.S. semiconductor company Micron Technology Inc, a maker of memory chips with factories in Virginia and Utah, has accused Jinhua and Taiwanese partner United Microelectronics Corp of stealing its chip designs in a lawsuit in California.

Washington's decision to cut off U.S. supplies to a Chinese chip-maker spotlights mounting tensions over China's drive to be a global player in computer chips and the ways in which Taiwan companies are helping it get there.

Taiwan chip giant United Microelectronics Corp (UMC) last week halted research and development activities with its Chinese state-backed partner Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co Ltd, following the U.S. move.

Bloomberg•17 days agoTheft of Micron Chip Secrets Is an Embarrassment for Taiwan

According to the U.S. Justice Department, UMC executives were the front for a Chinese plan to steal semiconductor secrets from Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology Inc. Even before jumping into bed with state-owned Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., UMC had a history of questionable deals in China.
