Bloomberg and other media reported Sunday, citing sources, that the United States was mulling new rules that would ban hardware and software made in China from its vehicles.
Asked about the reports, foreign ministry spokesman, Lin Jian, said China urged, “the US to respect market principles and provide an open, fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises”.
“China opposes the US’s broadening of the concept of national security and the discriminatory actions taken against Chinese companies and products,” Lin said.
“China will resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests,” he added.
The rules, if confirmed, would mark the latest escalation of a simmering trade row between the US and China.
