What is China's comment?

  Zhao Lijian said that China has stated its solemn position on this issue many times.

The US has generalized the concept of national security, abused national power, and unscrupulously suppressed Chinese high-tech enterprises, seriously violating the principles of market economy and fair competition.

This approach not only harms the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also harms the interests of companies in the United States and other countries. It will seriously interfere with the normal scientific and technological exchanges and trade exchanges between the two countries and the world, and cause damage to the global industrial chain and supply chain.
