The U.S. act of using state power to suppress Chinese enterprises and intervening in economy by political means is unfair and immoral, a spokeswoman for Chinese Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
The spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said this at a routine news briefing in response to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's statement that it is necessary to guard against China creating a Slovakia's dependence on China and manipulating its political system by economic and other means while visiting Slovakia.
Just one day earlier, in Hungary, Pompeo warned that if Hungary deploys equipment from Chinese telecommunications company Huawei, there will be difficulty in cooperation between Hungary and his country.
While visiting Poland, Pompeo said the United State will not deploy its technologies in a country whose computer network may be destroyed by China; and that if Poland quits cooperation with China, then it will help the United States to set up military base in Poland.
"What I want to say is China is totally different with the United States. Intervening in the internal affairs of other countries has never been China's policy, nor manipulating politics of other countries China's interest and specialty. Who, in the world, has long been keen on intervening in other countries' internal affairs, and manipulating other countries' politics by hook or by crook, even by seeking for regime change. The international community is quite clear, and every country will make its clear judgment," said Hua.
The United States should truly abide by the free, fair and competitive market principle and uphold the fair, just and non-discriminatory market environment in a real sense, the spokeswoman said.
"The United States, without any conclusive evidence, has fabricated various unwarranted charges and concocted various threat theories. There is only one truth, that is, using state power to suppress the legitimate right for development and interests of Chinese enterprises. The act of intervening in economy by political means is extremely hypocritical, unfair and also immoral," said Hua.
