China warns the USA of ‘all necessary measures’ over Huawei

While the US-China bond has become more toxic than ever since their intense reunion in the 1970s, the two nations have so far achieved to avert a bigger blowup. Still, the COVID-19 outbreak has exposed the risk for a further deterioration in links. Now, be it trade deal, battle over the South China Sea, the origin of coronavirus the list of the issues between two supreme nations is mounting.

Recently, Ministry of Commerce in China said, it will take ‘all necessary measures’ in response to new US limitations on Chinese tech company Huawei’s ‘ability’ to use American technology, calling the ‘procedures an abuse of state power and a violation of market principles’.

In a statement on the ministry’s website, an unidentified spokesperson said that the regulations also exposed the security of the ‘global industrial and supply chain.’

The statement reads, “The US uses state power, under the so-called excuse of national security, and abuses export control measures to continuously oppress and contain specific enterprises of other countries.”

It added, “China will take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.”

USA ON HUAWEI DEAL
Wilbur Ross, US Commerce Secretary, said that the USA wants to prevent the tech giant Huawei from escaping permissions imposed earlier on its use of American technology to create semiconductors.

Huawei Technologies Ltd, on the other side, is China’s first global tech brand and a maker of network equipment and smartphones is at the midpoint of a US-China clash over Beijing’s technology ambitions.

Officials from Washington say Huawei is a security risk, which the company refutes.

In December 2018, Huawei’s Chief Financial Officer, Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, was arrested in Canada. It irked a diplomatic uproar among the three countries and complicated high-stakes US-China trade talks.
