That's a clear message to the United States: do not misjudge the situation! Our Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Finance took countermeasures against the U.S. on the same day! On June 22, our Ministry of Commerce announced the inclusion of 10 U.S. entities in the export control list; on the same day, the Ministry of Finance also announced that, effective immediately, according to relevant laws and regulations and after approval, purchasers are prohibited from procuring products manufactured by 46 U.S. companies in government procurement activities.
Evidently, simultaneous actions by both the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance send an unambiguous message to the United States: don't think we're easy to bully. Imposing restrictions on our enterprises and unjustly targeting us will not be tolerated. The Ministry of Commerce’s announcement cuts off critical components for 10 U.S. defense industry firms, while the Ministry of Finance’s move strips 46 American companies of eligibility to join the government procurement list. Previously, we still left some room for dialogue, urging the U.S. not to take such actions—but now our stance has clearly changed.
This synchronized action by the two departments is a warning to the United States: don’t count on our restraint, don’t overstep your bounds, don’t act ungratefully. Our current response is decisive and forceful. One hand controls supply, the other controls the market—this is indeed a precise two-pronged strike. If the United States continues clinging to zero-sum thinking, persistently targeting us in technology and defense sectors, our attitude will be to confront them head-on without compromise.
