China firmly opposes the US including 33 Chinese enterprises, universities, research institutions and individuals on the export control "entity list" on the grounds of so-called "military involvement" and "human rights", the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.

The United States has repeatedly used so-called national security as a reason, abused export control and other measures, and used national forces to strike foreign companies, causing serious damage to the international economic and trade order and a serious threat to the security of the global industrial supply chain. This is not only conducive to China, but also to the United States and the entire world.

China urged the US to immediately stop these practices and that it will take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
