AFP: The US finalized a rule yesterday effectively barring Chinese technology from cars in the American market, taking aim at software and hardware from China and also Russia over national security concerns. Does the Foreign Ministry have a comment on this?
Guo Jiakun: I’d refer you to competent authorities for anything specific. Let me say that the US under the pretext of so-called national security made the decision without any factual basis to prohibit Chinese connected vehicle hardware and software systems, as well as completed connected vehicles, from being used in the US. Such a practice disrupts economic and commercial cooperation between companies, violates the principle of market economy and fair competition, and is typical protectionism and economic coercion. China firmly opposes this. We urge the US to stop its wrongdoings of overstretching the concept of national security, and stop going after Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to firmly defend its lawful rights and interests.
