Ministry of Commerce: Resolutely opposes the US side's preparation of the so-called "Xinjiang Supply Chain Business Consulting Announcement"

　　China News Service, July 14th, according to the Ministry of Commerce website, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce on the 14th responded to reporters' questions regarding the "Xinjiang Supply Chain Business Advisory Announcement" issued by the US government. The spokesman said that the essence of the Xinjiang-related issue is not the so-called "human rights" issue of the US, but the issue of anti-terrorism and anti-secession. The US Department of State and other departments concocted the so-called "Announcement", under the banner of "Human Rights", intervened in China's internal affairs and suppressed Chinese enterprises through consultation and suggestions. China is firmly opposed to this.

　　A reporter asked: On July 1, the U.S. government issued a “Xinjiang Supply Chain Business Consulting Announcement”, warning companies not to allow the supply chain to contact entities in Xinjiang and other so-called “human rights violations”. Does the Ministry of Commerce have any comments?

　　The spokesman said that the so-called "announcement" seriously distorted the facts. The essence of the Xinjiang-related issue is not the so-called "human rights" issue of the US, but the issue of anti-terrorism and anti-secession. The US Department of State and other departments concocted the so-called "Announcement", under the banner of "Human Rights", intervened in China's internal affairs and suppressed Chinese enterprises through consultation and suggestions. China is firmly opposed to this.

　　The spokesman said that the current global epidemic and economic situation are very serious. The wrong practice of the United States interferes with the normal cooperation between Chinese and American companies, undermines the stability of the global supply chain, affects the recovery of the world economy, and harms the common interests of all parties. This is bad for China, bad for the United States, and bad for the whole world. China strongly urges the US to stop relevant wrong practices. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
