The Point: China starts WTO legal proceedings against the U.S.

For more: On December 12, #China filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against the United States over chip export control measures. In recent years, the U.S. has passed a set of regulations aimed at containing China’s semiconductor industry. China accuses the U.S. of using export controls to maintain its leadership in the high-tech sector, but the U.S. says its national security interests required it to act decisively to control China’s access to advanced technologies. What exactly are China’s aspirations in taking the case to the #WTO? How big is the chance that China may get the upper hand in the case? And what difference would it make in the race for scientific and technological advantages?
