Stand firm! Directly warn the United States! If it does not change course, China will counter! On June 13th, in response to the U.S. military listing multiple Chinese enterprises on the "Chinese Military-Industrial Complex List," we have now issued our response. Our Ministry of Commerce spokesperson clearly stated that the U.S. side has disregarded the consensus reached during the Beijing meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, ignored the overall picture of China-U.S. economic and trade relations, and seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. The Chinese side urges the U.S. to immediately stop its erroneous practices and immediately revoke the relevant measures.
If not, China will resolutely and forcefully retaliate, and all consequences and responsibilities arising therefrom will be fully borne by the U.S. It is obvious that facing America's contradictory approach—on one hand seeking détente, on the other hand deliberately provoking incidents—our stance is extremely direct: stand up to the United States head-on. Our swift response to the U.S. action indicates what? It shows that our countermeasures are already prepared. This straightforward reply is essentially a final warning to the United States.
Evidently, when dealing with the United States, our attitude is strictly reciprocal. The U.S. move reflects its unwillingness to give up efforts to contain our country’s high-tech development, thus repeatedly instigating friction and conflict. Deep down, the U.S. does not truly accept peaceful coexistence with us, which explains why its approach to China-U.S. relations remains inconsistent and fluctuating. Regardless of whether it aims to suppress us or create leverage for strategic competition, we will never yield to America’s bullying behavior—America must not miscalculate.
