China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the "Clean 5G Network Plan"
In addition, on August 5th, local time, US Secretary of State Pompeo revisited the so-called "Clean 5G Network Plan" of the United States, and as always, played up the threat of China. Pompeo also claimed that it was stepping up its efforts to remove "untrusted" China applications from American digital networks.
In response, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on the 6th that Pompeo and other American politicians have repeatedly abused state power to suppress and contain high-tech enterprises in China under the pretext of safeguarding national security, which China firmly opposes.
The relevant practices in the United States have no factual basis at all. It's totally malicious smearing and political manipulation. Their essence is to maintain their high-tech monopoly position, which completely violates the market principles and international economic and trade principles and seriously threatens the security of the global industrial chain supply chain. This is a typical hegemonic behavior. "The United States itself is covered with stains, but it is ridiculous to talk about' cleaning the network'."
