On January 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference.

A reporter asked questions. According to Reuters, a draft list shows that the Trump administration is about to announce that 89 Chinese companies are "military-related" and will restrict their purchase of a series of American products and technologies. What is China's comment?

Zhao Lijian said that China firmly opposes the unprovoked suppression of Chinese companies by the US and has stated its solemn position on this many times. What the U.S. has done seriously violates the market competition principles and international economic and trade rules that the U.S. has always advertised, and will inevitably harm the United States' national interests and its own image. Chinese companies have always adhered to operating in compliance with laws and regulations, and strictly abided by the laws and regulations of various countries, including the laws of the United States, in their international operations. The United States should stop the misconduct of generalizing the concept of national security and suppressing foreign companies.
