Beijing's Commerce Ministry has announced anti-dumping measures on a chip chemical from Japan. The chemical in question is dichlorosilane, which is used in the production of semiconductors. Companies that import this chemical from Japan are now required to provide cash deposits.

The cash deposits required can be as high as 99.2% of the value of the imported chemical. This new requirement went into effect on Tuesday.

Further details on this development are available from the source, including any potential impact on trade between the two countries.
