Beijing blasts US sanctions on 5 Chinese firms tied to ex-Google engineer
Beijing has expressed strong opposition to U.S. sanctions on five Chinese companies linked to a former Google engineer accused of intellectual property theft
Beijing on Tuesday expressed “firm opposition” to the Trump administration’s sanctions on five Chinese companies connected to a former Google engineer accused of intellectual property theft.
The move “severely harms the legitimate rights and interests” of Chinese businesses, the country’s commerce ministry said in a statement. “The nature of this act is egregious. Chinese firms oppose this.”
The ministry also urged the U.S. to “correct its erroneous practice” and said Beijing would take “necessary measures,” without specifying them.
It came a day after the U.S. State Department imposed sanctions on five Chinese companies connected to Linwei Ding, who founded Shanghai Zhisuan Technology. The department said he had touted his experience with Google and claimed his company could replicate the American tech giant’s super intelligence infrastructure technology.
