SHANGHAI—The Chinese Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA), a major trade association for China’s chip industry, will establish a working group with its U.S-based counterpart, the organization announced on Thursday.

The announcement on the CSIA website comes at a time when China is concerned about reliance on U.S. intellectual property, and the United States leans on China-based manufacturing in its supply chain.
