CHINA accused the United States today of “abusing state power” by using bogus national security concerns to “suppress foreign enterprises.”
It hit back following a US decision to add China’s largest producer of processor chips, the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation to a blacklist limiting access to US technology or investment.
The attacks on Thursday are part of Washington’s global drive to close off access to technology or foreign components for Chinese high-tech firms such as Huawei, which has included putting pressure on US allies such as Britain to stop working with such firms.
