China has expressed its strong opposition to the decision,
China Daily reported. The US has once again generalized national security concerns and arbitrarily imposed restrictions on Chinese businesses, undermining the principles of fair trade and cooperation.

China urges the US to immediately correct its mistaken actions and cease its unwarranted pressure on Chinese companies. China is determined to take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of its businesses, said the commerce official.
