PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Two major semiconductor industry associations in China and the U.S. have established a working group to discuss trade-related issues, the Chinese group said Thursday, a possible olive branch amid trade tensions between Beijing and Washington and a worsening global chip shortage affecting both economies.
Chinese Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) and its U.S. counterpart, Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), will meet twice a year to discuss the latest technology development and trade policies in the two countries. The associations will select 10 companies from each side as representatives to participate in the working group, CSIA said.
