Commerce Department Spokesman Answers Reporters' Questions About US Sanctions Against Chinese Companies Q: On November 5, EST, the US State Department announced sanctions against two Chinese companies. It was reported that this is the first time that the United States has imposed sanctions on a Chinese company for its involvement in Cuba. What is China's comment on this? A: We have noticed the relevant situation. The United States has imposed unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies on the grounds that it involves a third party, which violates international law and the basic norms governing international relations. China strongly opposes this. Recently, the US has escalated its sanctions and repression on China and introduced a number of discriminatory restrictive measures, which severely harm the rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, deviate from the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, and harm the stability of economic and commercial relations between China and the US. China urges the United States to correct its wrongdoings as soon as possible and reserves the right to take necessary measures to safeguard its rights and legitimate interests.
