China News Service, Beijing, December 23 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) In response to US politicians claiming that China has funded domestic companies to bid for the Pacific submarine cable project for espionage and geopolitical coercion, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was a regular reporter on the 23rd It was stated at the meeting that the statement was completely slander and smear of Chinese companies and fabricated an excuse for the US to unreasonably suppress Chinese high-tech companies.
A reporter asked questions. US Senators Cruz and Rubio told Pacific island countries in a letter that China is funding Huawei Ocean Networks Co., Ltd. to bid for the Pacific submarine cable project for espionage and geopolitical coercion.
Does the spokesperson have any comment on this?
Zhao Lijian said that the individual congressmen mentioned by the reporter will turn against China and are keen to concoct all kinds of lies to discredit China and use them to seek political self-interest. There is no political integrity at all.
The remarks are completely slander and smear of Chinese companies and fabricated excuses for the United States to unreasonably suppress Chinese high-tech companies.
Zhao Lijian said that the Chinese government encourages Chinese companies to carry out foreign investment cooperation in accordance with market principles and international rules, and on the basis of abiding by local laws and regulations.
It is precisely from the exposure of the "Prism Gate" that the United States itself has carried out large-scale cyber theft of countries including its allies on a global scale, and it is a veritable "Matrix" and "Secret Stealing Empire."
Not long ago, the Danish media exposed that relevant US agencies are monitoring Danish government departments and collecting private data and information on communication cables passing through Denmark.
The world clearly sees the US trick of slandering others and beautifying itself.
