The Chinese government has condemned the United States’ actions to place multiple Chinese entities on an export control list.

A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce stated that the country firmly opposes the US’s generalization of national security and abuse of export controls. The spokesperson added that the US should cease its unreasonable suppression of Chinese enterprises and correct its erroneous practices immediately.

The Chinese government has warned that these practices seriously harm the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains, hinder global economic recovery and development, and affect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.

The spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce emphasized that China will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
