China News Agency, Beijing, July 15 (Reporter Liang Xiaohui) Regarding the question of whether China will conduct a countermeasure against Britain’s decision to ban Huawei 5G, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on the 15th: Melons, beans are grown, and any decisions and actions have to pay a price.

  She also said that the world is very large and the UK is relatively small. "I don't think this ban will prevent Huawei from growing and growing."

  At the scene, a reporter asked: Does the British company in China need to worry about Chinese countermeasures against them?

  Hua Chunying responded that the ban on Huawei in the UK is a more obvious threat to the safety of Chinese investment in the UK, and it is our confidence in whether the UK market can remain open, fair and non-discriminatory. China will fully and seriously evaluate this incident and take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

  She said that there is a saying in China, "Grow melons to get melons, grow beans to get beans." Any decision and behavior will have to pay a price. It is noted that many British companies, including the British Chamber of Commerce and British Telecom companies, have clearly expressed their opposition to the British government's decision. The British government should take this issue seriously. Can the British side maintain its independent status, or is it willing to become a vassal of the United States and win the chest for the United States? The British government is responsible for making choices that are in the best interest of the British people.

  Hua Chunying emphasized that in the past 20 years, the UK and Huawei have carried out very good cooperation, certainly not for the benefit of Huawei, but for the benefit of the British side itself. Similarly, if the British side decides to ban Huawei, it will also damage the British side's own interests. "The world is large, and the UK is relatively small. I think this ban will not prevent Huawei from growing and growing."

  Another reporter asked if other countries adopt similar policies to Huawei against Britain, will they also face retaliatory measures?

  Hua Chunying pointed out that this involves the judgment of governments of various countries. Huawei has established good cooperative relations with more than 170 countries. It is believed that the vast majority of national leaders have the wisdom to make their own judgments and will make decisions based on the merits of the matter that are in the best interests of the people and enterprises of their countries and take corrective actions. . "We have enough confidence in this."

  She said that we do not want to retaliate against a certain country for taking inadequate measures against Chinese companies due to the intimidation of the United States. What we want is to cooperate with all countries on the principles of equality, mutual benefit, reciprocity and win-win. People of all countries want to see it. Revenge is not what we pursue, we are seeking win-win cooperation.

  "You can tell the British government that they are a minority and they are on the opposite side of the international community." Hua Chunying said. (Finish)
