BEIJING, May 15 (Xinhua) -- China's commerce ministry on Thursday condemned the U.S. for abusing export control measures targeting Chinese tech giant Huawei's Ascend chips, pledging to take resolute measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
"The United States has abused its export control measures and imposed stricter restrictions on Chinese chip products under unfounded allegations," said spokesperson He Yongqian in response to recent U.S. announcement that using Huawei's Ascend chips anywhere in the world violates U.S. export controls.
She said the announcement is a typical non-market and unilateral bullying practice, which fully exposes the unilateralist and protectionist nature of the United States.
The U.S. move has severely undermined Chinese companies' legitimate rights, threatened the stability of global semiconductor supply chains, violated market rules and disrupted international trade order, He told the media.
The restrictions would also jeopardize the long-term, mutually beneficial and sustainable cooperation between Chinese and U.S. firms, she said, urging the United States to immediately correct its wrongdoings and vowing to take resolute steps to protect the rights and interests of Chinese firms.
