On May 19, the Canadian government announced a ban on the use of Huawei and ZTE products and services in the Canadian telecommunications system on the grounds of so-called national security.

In this regard, at the regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held today (20th), spokesman Wang Wenbin said that China firmly opposes it and will take all necessary means to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.

  Wang Wenbin said that without any conclusive evidence, the Canadian side used "unwarranted" security risks as an excuse to exclude relevant Chinese companies from the Canadian market. This move completely violated the principles of market economy and free trade rules and seriously damaged China. the legitimate rights and interests of the enterprise.

China firmly opposes this and will conduct a comprehensive and serious assessment.

We will take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
