Dec. 19 (UPI) — China’s foreign ministry moved quickly to deny claims the government has detained a third Canadian citizen, while condemning the “suppression” of Chinese tech firms abroad.
While not referring explicitly to the United States and its allies, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Wednesday the suppression of companies like Huawei Technologies is an overt form of “technological hegemony.”
“Some countries are currently working to politicize legitimate technological cooperation without clear evidence,” Hua said. “They cite a potential threat to security as a pretext to dishonor Chinese high-tech companies like Huawei, and are suppressing them.
