China News Service, March 31 (Xinhua) In response to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announcement that China Telecom Americas Corporation and China Mobile International (US) Co., Ltd. were included in the "List of Communications Equipment and Services Posing a Threat to National Security" (also known as the "National Security Threat List") "Untrusted Supplier List"), Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting said at a regular press conference on the 31st that the U.S. side should immediately correct its wrongdoing and stop politicizing economic and trade issues.
Shu Jueting said that the FCC's move is to suppress Chinese companies again after the recent unreasonable revocation of the 214 telecom operation licenses of Chinese companies.
The U.S. generalizes the concept of national security, includes Chinese companies in the so-called "untrusted supplier list" without any factual basis, restricts market access for companies' products and services, and abuses state power to sanction and suppress companies, which violates basic principles. Market principles and recognized international economic and trade rules have harmed the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and consumers, including American users.
China firmly opposes this.
"The U.S. should immediately correct its wrongdoing, stop politicizing economic and trade issues, and provide a fair, stable and non-discriminatory market environment for companies from all over the world, including Chinese companies, to operate in the U.S. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legality of Chinese companies. rights." Shu Jueting said.
