According to information from the Ministry of Commerce website on November 7, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answered journalists' questions regarding US sanctions against Chinese companies.
Question: On November 5th, Eastern United States time, the US Department of State announced sanctions against two Chinese companies. It is reported that this is the first time the US has imposed sanctions on Chinese companies on the grounds related to Cuba. What are the comments from the Chinese side on this?
Answer: We have taken note of the situation. The US has imposed unilateral sanctions on Chinese enterprises on the grounds of involving third parties, which violates international law and the basic norms of international relations. China firmly opposes this.
Recently, the US has intensified its sanctions and restrictions against China, introducing a number of discriminatory measures that seriously harm the rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. This goes against the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and undermines the stability of Sino-US economic and trade relations. The Chinese side urges the US to correct its wrongful actions promptly and retains the right to take necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
