China Slams US 'Abuse' Over New Huawei Sanctions
2020-08-18 18:21

Beijing on Tuesday hit out at new US sanctions against telecom giant Huawei, accusing Washington of an "Abuse of national power" to block the rise of Chinese companies.

A US Commerce Department statement Monday barred an additional 38 Huawei affiliates from buying American computer chips and other technology.

US officials have argued that Huawei poses a security risk because of its links to the Beijing government, a claim denied by the company.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Huawei and its affiliates "Have worked through third parties to harness US technology in a manner that undermines US national security and foreign policy interests".

Zhao on Tuesday urged the US to "Correct its mistakes," saying China would "Continue to take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies".
