WASHINGTON, July 19 (Reuters) - China does not want a trade or tech war but will definitely respond if the United States imposes more curbs on its chip sector, China's ambassador to Washington said on Wednesday.
Xie referred to reports that Washington is considering an outbound investment review mechanism, and further prohibition on the export of AI chips to China.
"China, definitely ... will make our response.
We don't want ... a trade war, technological war, we want to say goodbye to the Iron Curtain as well as the Silicon Curtain."
She said the order would enacted in a transparent way, through a rule-making process that would allow public input.
