China vowed Thursday to
BEIJING — China vowed Thursday to « resolutely safeguard » Chinese companies after Washington labeled telecom equipment giant Huawei a security risk and imposed export curbs on U. S. technology sales to the company.
A foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang, criticized the moves as an « abuse of export control measures » after the Trump administration issued an order requiring Huawei to obtain government permission for purchases.
Huawei Technologies Ltd., the biggest global maker of switching equipment for phone companies, has spent a decade fighting accusations it facilitates Chinese spying.
« We urge the United States to stop the wrong approach, » said a foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang. « China will take further necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
