'China has emphasised many times the concept of national security should not be abused, and that it should not be used as a tool for trade protectionism.' Gao Feng, Chinese commerce ministry spokesman, slamming US decision to blacklist Huawei
In this April 6, 2016 file photo, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng speaks during a press conference in Beijing.
A foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang, criticised "abuse of export control measures" as President Donald Trump signed an order requiring US vendors to get approval for sales to Huawei. "We urge the United States to cancel the wrong practices as early as possible, avoiding greater losses to Chinese and American companies and consumers, and causing a 'recession-like' impact on the world economy."China believes tariffs were the genesis of the trade dispute, and that all tariffs must be eliminated in order to reach a deal.
"Our perspective is not to block Huawei or any company, it is to preserve our national security and European sovereignty. But I think launching now a technological war or a trade war ... is not appropriate," said Macron on Thursday, speaking at the Paris 'VivaTech' event.De Volkskrant "I very much hope there is time for the UK government, and the probability as I write of a new prime minister, to reconsider the Huawei decision," said Richard Dearlove, who was chief of UK's Secret Intelligence Service from 1996 to 2004.
