China News Service, January 28th, in response to "the United States initiated 337 investigations on specific electrical connectors, which involved Chinese companies", the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng said on the 28th that the Chinese companies involved are currently actively responding.
On the afternoon of the 28th, at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce, a reporter asked: The US International Trade Commission has initiated 337 investigations on specific electrical connectors and cages, their components and downstream products, involving companies including China Luxshare Precision.
According to reports, the US International Trade Commission will determine the end of the investigation 45 days after filing the case.
Does the Ministry of Commerce have any comments?
Gao Feng responded that we noticed that on December 18, 2020, Amphenol of the United States filed a 337 investigation application with the US International Trade Commission for specific electrical connectors and cages.
On January 21, 2021, the US International Trade Commission decided to initiate an investigation into this case.
At present, the Chinese companies involved in the case are actively responding.
Gao Feng said that the Chinese government attaches great importance to intellectual property protection and has always advocated that enterprises respect intellectual property rights. At the same time, we also oppose the abuse of intellectual property protection and the practice of protectionism.
The Ministry of Commerce will continue to guide Chinese companies to deal with cases in accordance with the law, and effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests.
It is hoped that the U.S. International Trade Commission can conduct investigations objectively, fairly and impartially in accordance with the law, and properly resolve intellectual property disputes between enterprises.
