China tells U.S. to stop ‘unreasonable suppression’ of Huawei
Beijing has urged the United States to stop the “unreasonable suppression of Huawei and Chinese enterprises” after Washington announced new export controls to restrict the tech giant’s access to semiconductor technology.
The latest restrictions on the world’s second-largest smartphone manufacturer, which is at the centre of US spying allegations, are a new escalation in the US-China battle for global technological dominance.
“The Chinese government will firmly uphold Chinese firms’ legitimate and legal rights and interests,” the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Saturday.
“We urge the US side to immediately stop its unreasonable suppression of Huawei and Chinese enterprises.”
The ministry said the Trump administration’s actions “destroy global manufacturing, supply and value chains”.
