China News Service, Beijing, September 5th (Xie Yanbing) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on September 5th.
A reporter asked questions about the Biden administration's restrictions on US investment in Chinese technology companies.
Mao Ning: I have also seen relevant reports and am concerned about the US practice of using government power to suppress Chinese companies.
Science and technology should benefit all mankind and should not be used as a means to limit or contain the development of other countries.
The U.S. generalization of the concept of national security and artificially erecting obstacles to China-U.S. economic and technological exchanges runs counter to the principles of market economy and international economic and trade rules, undermines the confidence of the international community in the U.S. business environment, and will backfire on the U.S. itself.
The Chinese government will continue to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic enterprises.
