Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded
On November 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked a question. According to a draft US list disclosed by the media, the Trump administration is about to announce that 89 Chinese companies are "military-related" and will restrict them from purchasing a series of US products and technologies. What is China's comment?
Zhao Lijian said that China firmly opposes the unprovoked suppression of Chinese companies by the US and has stated its solemn position on this many times. What the U.S. has done seriously violates the market competition principles and international economic and trade rules that the U.S. has always advertised, and will inevitably harm America's national interests and its own image. Chinese companies have always adhered to operating in compliance with laws and regulations, and strictly abide by the laws and regulations of various countries, including US laws, in their international operations. The United States should stop generalizing the concept of national security and suppress the wrongdoings of foreign companies.
