The United States has once again imposed countermeasures against us! Following our Ministry of Commerce's sanctions on 10 American companies, the U.S. has taken further actions! On June 27, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced that it will ban the import of additional equipment from a group of Chinese manufacturers. Foreign media report that the U.S. has issued a ban on new telecommunications and video surveillance devices produced by Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua, claiming this move is to protect national security and reduce risks facing the U.S. communications sector.
How do we view the U.S. actions? Clearly, this move by the United States is nothing but an abuse of national security grounds, recklessly targeting our high-tech enterprises. This escalation in restrictions is unlikely to be an impulsive decision—it may well be a retaliatory technological strike triggered by frustration after seeing our precise sanctions on U.S. defense, rare earth, and drone-related entities.
The U.S. aims to completely cut off the legal market access for equipment from these five Chinese enterprises into the American market. Yet, the so-called "national security risk" cited throughout is utterly baseless—a transparent excuse masking technological hegemony and market protectionism. Of course, in the face of such aggressive tactics, we cannot possibly yield to U.S. pressure. The principle guiding Sino-U.S. interactions is reciprocity, and there is no ruling out further countermeasures against the United States.
