It is rumored that the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry will set off to visit the United States to coordinate with the United States on semiconductor export control policies

According to media reports, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura plans to visit the United States from January 5 to 10, during which he will discuss with the United States restrictions on chip exports to China.

According to reports, Nishimura plans to meet with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Trade Representative Dai Qi in Washington. He will also sign a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security in the field of cyber security and hold talks on Japan-U.S. joint research and development of high-end chips.

After the United States issued new regulations on semiconductor export control to China in October last year, it was repeatedly exposed by foreign media that it was actively coordinating with the Netherlands, Japan and other allies in an attempt to promote its semiconductor equipment export control policy to be coordinated with the United States.
