China News Service, Beijing, July 1st (Reporter Zhang Weiran) Against the US, China's Huawei and ZTE Corporation are listed as "US national security threats". Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 1st that the US The act of economic bullying is a blatant denial of the market economic principles that the US has consistently advertised. China once again urges the US to stop unreasonably suppressing Chinese companies.
According to foreign media reports, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States officially ruled on June 30 local time that China's Huawei and ZTE were listed as "US national security threats," prohibiting telecom operators from using government funds to purchase from these two Chinese companies.
In this regard, Zhao Lijian said that China has stated its position on this matter many times. The United States is accustomed to abuse state power to suppress specific countries and specific enterprises on unprovoked charges without any evidence. This kind of economic bullying by the United States is a blatant denial of the market economic principles that the United States has consistently advertised.
Zhao Lijian said that prohibiting US operators from purchasing Huawei and ZTE equipment will not really improve the US network security situation, but will have a serious impact on network services in rural and underdeveloped areas in the US. Relevant US agencies are very clear about this.
Zhao Lijian said that we once again urge the US to stop generalizing the concept of national security, stop deliberately discrediting and accusing China, stop unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises, and provide a fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese enterprises to operate normally in the United States.
