Dec 13 (Reuters) - China has launched a trade dispute at the World Trade Organization against the United States over its chip export control measures, China's commerce ministry said.
The United States passed a sweeping set of regulations in October aimed at kneecapping China's semiconductor industry, prompting a complaint from a top China trade group.
"China takes legal actions within the WTO framework as a necessary way to address our concerns and to defend our legitimate interests," said a statement by China's commerce ministry, its diplomatic mission in Geneva relayed.
