Question: On April 8, The U.S. Department of Commerce announced to add seven Chinese institutions to its export control “entity list” for their “support to China’s military modernization”. What’s your comment?

Answer: China firmly opposes the U.S.’s adding the seven Chinese institutions to its export control “entity list”. Under the pretext of “national security” and “support to China’s military modernization”, the U.S. has repetitively abused export control measures and wielded state power against businesses and institutions of other countries. This severely disrupts international economic and trade order and poses critical threats to the security of global industrial and supply chains. It does not benefit China, the US, or the whole world. China urge the U.S. to stop its erroneous moves. We will take necessary countermeasures to protect the lawful rights and interests of its enterprises.
