Original title: The United States once again suppressed Chinese companies on the grounds of “national security”, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded
On January 28, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question about the U.S. government putting China Unicom Americas on the list of violations and terminating its business authorization in the U.S. on the grounds of “national security”.
In this regard, Zhao Lijian first pointed out: “I have noticed relevant reports and suggest to inquire with the relevant department in charge. As a principle, what I can tell you is that the U.S. side once again used national security without listing specific illegal facts. For this reason, revoking the license of Chinese companies to operate in the United States, blatantly generalizing the concept of national security, and abusing state power to unreasonably suppress Chinese companies. This is a serious breach of international economic and trade rules, and harms global consumers, including American users. legitimate rights and interests.” Zhao Lijian said that the Chinese government supports relevant companies in safeguarding their rights and interests in accordance with the law, and will continue to take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
