BEIJING, China
China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday pledged necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies after the U.S. banned new equipment sales from five Chinese firms.
The U.S. Federal
Communications Commission issued a ban last Friday on importing and selling
telecommunications equipment of five Chinese companies including Huawei and
ZTE, alleging they pose an "unacceptable risk" to U.S. national
security.
Huawei and ZTE have repeatedly
opposed U.S. restrictions and denied that they threaten U.S. security.
Ministry spokesperson Shu
Jueting said at a press conference that China firmly opposes the U.S.
generalizing the concept of national security and abusing state power to
maliciously suppress Chinese companies and urged the U.S. side to immediately
correct its wrong practices.
The move will not only damage
the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies but will also affect
the interests of American companies and consumers and disrupt the international
economic and trade order, which does no good for either country or the world at
large, Shu said.
