It's unexpected that the United States is still making moves behind the scenes! After the highest level of communication between China and the US, the US Department of Commerce suddenly targeted us again! According to a report by Singapore Lianhe Zaobao on June 7th, informed sources revealed that the US Department of Commerce has issued a suspension order to American companies, involving export licenses for nuclear power plant components and equipment. This suspension will affect the business of nuclear equipment suppliers worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Clearly, this small move by the US behind the scenes is not a good sign! In fact, when the highest-level communication was held between China and the US, we clearly stated that the Chinese always keep their word and act accordingly. Once an agreement is reached, both sides should abide by it. The US side should realistically view the progress made and revoke the negative measures imposed on China. Now, the US is making such moves, which cannot rule out its intention to create chips for future Sino-US negotiations.

However, we must say that first, if the US intends to target us in the field of nuclear power plant components, it is futile. Because the construction, operation, and maintenance of our nuclear power plants have already achieved complete autonomy and do not depend on other countries. Even if some components need to be imported, France and Russia, which are mature in nuclear power technology, can become alternative options for us.

Secondly, this action by the US makes us question whether the US can fulfill the agreements already reached. If the US goes too far, of course, we don't need to be polite and will certainly take countermeasures. In fact, we hope that China and the US will move towards each other and properly handle differences. In the coming period, we will undoubtedly closely monitor how the US will honor its commitments with its attitude.
