Ministry of Commerce responds to the abuse of export control measures by the United States

The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security recently announced that the use of Huawei's Ascend chip anywhere in the world violates U.S. export controls. In response, the spokesperson for the Department of Commerce, He Yongqian, stated on the 15th that the U.S. announcement is a typical non-market and unilateral bullying practice, fully exposing its unilateralism and protectionism. He made the above response at the regular press conference of the Department of Commerce held that day. He stated that the U.S. has abused export control measures, unreasonably restricted Chinese chip products under false pretenses, seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, severely threatened the stability of the global semiconductor supply chain, seriously disrupted market rules and the international economic and trade order. This move by the U.S. is not conducive to long-term, mutually beneficial, and sustainable cooperation and development between the two countries. "China urges the U.S. to immediately correct its wrongdoings and will take resolute measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies," she said.
