Just a few weeks after the U.S. and China made significant steps to de-escalate the growing trade war between the two countries, tensions are flaring again — this time over semiconductors.

China’s Commerce Ministry in Beijing released a statement on Wednesday that threatened legal action against anyone who enforces U.S. export restrictions on Huawei’s AI chips, according to reporting from Bloomberg.

This statement is in response to a set of “guidelines” released by the Trump administration on May 13 — alongside the revocation of Joe Biden’s Artificial Intelligence Diffusion rule — that reminded companies that using Huawei’s Ascend AI chips “anywhere in the world” was a violation of U.S. export rules.
