U.S. Initiates "301" Investigation, China's LED Industry Has Shocked

On the afternoon of the 14th, U.S. President Trump signed an administrative memorandum at the White House, instructing U.S. Trade Representative Lite Shizzle to initiate investigations on the so-called “unfair trade practices in China” to ensure that U.S. intellectual property and technology are protected. The so-called investigation is based on Article 301 of the U.S. Trade Law of 1974, also known as “Investigating 301”, which allows U.S. trade representatives to investigate unreasonable or unfair trade practices in other countries and may recommend U.S. The president imposed unilateral sanctions such as levying tariffs.

The European and American markets have always been the key areas for international competition in the LED display industry. Once the trade friction between China and the United States intensifies, the domestic LED display industry will inevitably cause great turmoil, especially in the "301 investigation" for intellectual property protection. This item, compared to some LED screen enterprises in the United States, although it may be the leading domestic LED display technology, but many domestic screen enterprises in the "intellectual property" registration is still a "rookie" level, in this regard Hard to hit hard, domestic screen companies are in a weak position. On the other hand, in recent years, domestic screen makers have been aggressively expanding overseas markets. High-end international markets such as Europe and the United States have been slow to develop, and now they have no trade barriers, which undoubtedly worsens the situation.
