Ministry of Commerce: China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese firms and institutions
After the US added 7 Chinese organizations to its export control list, the PRC Ministry of Commerce pledged on Thursday to take the necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and institutions.
China strongly opposes the US actions, and calls on the United States to immediately stop their misguided practices, as Shu Jiueting, a spokeswoman for the department, said at a press conference.
According to her, the United States has repeatedly generalized the concept of national security, abused export controls and used state power to harass and contain companies and institutions of other countries.
The actions of the American side seriously damage the normal trade and economic relations and cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises, grossly undermine market rules and the international economic and trade order, and seriously threaten the stability of global production and supply chains, which will not only benefit China and the US, but the whole world, she concluded.
