On August 27, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian pointed out at a regular press conference that some US politicians are "hunting" non-US companies such as WeChat, which is an organized and systematic approach to non-US companies that have a leading advantage in a certain field. Economic bullying.
A reporter asked that on the 26th, a survey of American companies in China published by the American Chamber of Commerce showed that nearly 90% of the interviewed companies believed that the US government's ban on WeChat would have a negative impact on their business. More than one-third of the interviewed companies believe that the ban may cause losses to their global revenue. What is China's comment?
"I have also noticed the results of this survey. I have also noticed that many Chinese people said that if the United States really banned WeChat, then we can also use Apple phones." Zhao Lijian said.
He further pointed out that under the guise of national security, some US politicians abused national power and unreasonably suppressed non-US companies. The "piracy" of the United States has already caused damage to the rights and interests of consumers and enterprises in all countries, including the United States, and is bound to be opposed and resisted by the international community.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that the "hunting" of non-US companies, including WeChat, by some US politicians is essentially imposing ideological bias on non-US companies. Systemic economic bullying. This approach denies the market economy and fair competition principles that the United States has always advertised, tramples on international rules, and undermines the exchanges and cooperation of science and technology innovation among countries under the wave of globalization.
