BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to immediately stop its protectionist and unilateral actions and stop its unbridled crackdown on Chinese technology companies and the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday.
The US Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security recently announced that the use of Huawei’s Ascend chips is considered a violation of US export control regulations, and warned of potential consequences for allowing US AI chips to be used to train Chinese AI models.
In response to a question at a daily press conference, Lin Jian said that the US side has taken the concept of national security too broadly, abused export controls and “long-arm jurisdiction” to maliciously block and unreasonably exert pressure on China’s chip and AI industry. Such actions seriously violate market rules, undermine the stability of global production and supply chains, and seriously infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
“China is firmly against this and will never take such actions,” he stressed.
Lin Jian added that China will take resolute measures to protect its right to development and the legitimate rights and interests of domestic enterprises. -0-
