Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi listens to a journalist's question during a news conference on the sidelines of the annual meeting of China's National People's Congress, in Beijing, on March 8, 2019.China’s foreign minister on Friday promised “all necessary measures” to defend Chinese companies and citizens abroad amid legal clashes between tech giant Huawei and Washington.
Wang was responding to a question about Beijing’s stance on Canada’s arrest of a Huawei Technologies Ltd. executive on U.S. criminal charges and the company’s lawsuit in an American court aimed at overturning restrictions on sales of its telecom equipment.“Recent actions against specific Chinese enterprises and individuals are not simply judicial cases, but deliberate political suppression,” said Wang.
“We also support companies and individuals using legal weapons to protect their rights and interests and not to be silent lambs.” Wang gave no details of what Beijing might do, but a Canadian former diplomat and a businessman have been arrested in China in what is widely seen as an effort to pressure Canada.
