TAIPEI, 13 Jun: China on Tuesday criticized new sanctions imposed by the United States on companies believed to be involved in training Chinese military pilots and aiding weapons development.
\nForeign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin urged Washington to \u201cstop abusing export control measures\u201d to hobble Chinese companies.
\n\u201cThe United States has repeatedly overstretched the concept of national security, abused state power, unwarrantedly suppressed Chinese companies, and wantonly disrupted the international economic order and trade rules,\u201d Wang said at a daily briefing in Beijing. \u201cIt has reached a level of unscrupulous hysteria.\u201d
\nChina \u201cdemands that the U.S. immediately correct its wrong practice of politicizing, instrumentalizing, and weaponizing economic, trade, and sci-tech issues with a pretext of human rights or military-related issues,\u201d Wang said.
\nOn Monday, the U.S. government placed 43 \u201centities\u201d on an export control list over national security and foreign policy concerns. The list includes both Chinese and foreign companies.
\nAmong those listed were Frontier Services Group Ltd., a security and aviation company previously run by Blackwater founder Erik Prince, and Test Flying Academy of South Africa, a flight school under scrutiny by British authorities for hiring retired British military pilots to train Chinese fliers.
\nThe companies are barred from receiving U.S. exports for activities deemed contrary to U.S. national interest.
\nOther companies were sanctioned for aiding development of China\u2019s hypersonic weapons and the modernization of its army, the Commerce Department aid.
\nTwo companies \u2014 Beijing Ryan Wende Science and Technology Co. Ltd. and Xinjiang Kehua Hechang Biological Science and Technology Co. Ltd. — were added for allegedly supplying items that helped the Chinese government monitor Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities. The U.S. has imposed several rounds of sanctions and import curbs over the past three years on companies belie-ved to be aiding Beijing\u2019s crackdown on ethnic minorities in its western Xinjiang region.
