A MOFCOM spokesperson said the U.S. Department of Defense’s move to place
certain Chinese firms on a “Chinese military companies” list ignores leaders’
consensus from the Beijing meeting, overextends national-security grounds and
abuses state power to pressure Chinese firms. The ministry said the action
undermines international trade order, risks global supply-chain stability and
harms Chinese firms’ lawful rights, urging the U.S. to immediately revoke the
measures and restore constructive, stable bilateral ties and fair,
non-discriminatory treatment for Chinese companies, and warned that if the
measures remain China will take resolute countermeasures and hold the U.S. fully
responsible for the consequences.
