China's foreign minister promises 'all necessary measures' to defend Chinese citizens and companies abroad following legal clashes between tech giant Huawei and Washington.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi listens to a journalist's question during a press conference on the sidelines of the annual meeting of China's National People's Congress in Beijing, Friday, March 8, 2019. The U.S.-North Korea summit in Vietnam last week was an "important step" toward denuclearization on the Korean peninsula, China's foreign minister said Friday.
Wang was responding to a question about Beijing’s stance on Canada’s arrest of a Huawei Technologies Ltd. executive on U.S. criminal charges and the company’s lawsuit in an American court aimed at overturning restrictions on sales of its telecom equipment. “We also support companies and individuals using legal weapons to protect their rights and interests and not to be silent lambs.”
Authorities also have slowed imports of Canadian canola, an oilseed crop, by imposing more stringent inspections.
