【附迴應全文】
美國時間9月4日，據路透社等媒體報道，美國政府有關部門正在考慮將中國大陸最大的芯片製造商中芯國際（SMIC）列入貿易黑名單。
對此，我公司嚴正聲明，中芯國際作爲一家同時在香港證券交易所及中國大陸A股上市的國際化運營的集成電路製造企業，公司嚴格遵守相關國家和地區的法律法規，並在此基礎上一直合法依規經營；且與多個美國及國際知名的半導體設備供貨商，建立多年良好的合作關係，美國商務部多年來針對中芯國際進口採購的設備，也已經核發多件重要的出口許可。同時，中芯國際自成立以來作爲全球半導體供應鏈上的重要成員，客戶遍及美國、歐洲及中國大陸等世界各地，其產品及服務皆用於民用和商用，從沒有任何涉及軍事應用的經營行爲，與中國軍方毫無關係；2016年及以前，中芯國際還是經美國商務部正式認可的「最終民用廠商」 (Validated End-User) ，並曾有多位美國商務部官員實地到中芯國際進行訪查。因此，任何關於“中芯國際涉軍”的報道均爲不實新聞，我們對此感到震驚和不解。中芯國際願以誠懇、開放、透明的態度，與美國各相關政府部門溝通交流，以化解可能的歧見和誤解。
特此聲明！

Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation Responses to Media on the U.S. Government’s Consideration to Add the Company to a Trade Blacklist
Reuters reported Friday, September 4 (EST), citing a Defense Department official that the Trump administration is considering whether to add China’s top chipmaker SMIC to a trade blacklist.
SMIC solemnly declares that the Company, a public company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market), is an international semiconductor foundry strictly complying with the laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where it performs its businesses. Since its inception, the Company has been fully compliant with all rules and laws. SMIC has maintained long-term strategic partnerships with multiple U.S.-based semiconductor equipment suppliers. Over the years, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has granted numerous export licenses for the Company. With a large and diverse customer base, serving companies in the U.S., Europe, and other Asian regions, SMIC plays an important role in the global semiconductor supply chain. The Company manufactures semiconductors and provides services solely for civilian and commercial end-users and end-uses. We have no relationship with the Chinese military. In and before 2016, SMIC had been granted Validated End-User (VEU) authorization by the BIS and the company hosted several visits from U.S. Government officials. Any assumptions of the Company’s ties with the Chinese military are untrue statements and false accusations. The Company is in complete shock and perplexity to the news. Nevertheless, SMIC is open to sincere and transparent communication with the U.S. Government agencies in hope of resolving potential misunderstandings.
