China has expressed strong dissatisfaction with and firm
opposition to the US government's sanctions on Chinese companies,
said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang on Wednesday.
The US announced on Tuesday it was imposing sanctions in line
with its so-called domestic law on six Chinese companies, which
were accused of supplying Iran with military equipment and
technology.
The Chinese government has always held a serious and responsible
attitude toward the non-proliferation issue and has adopted a
series of effective measures to strengthen export management and
control, he said.
The US move was not beneficial to
China-US cooperation in the non-proliferation field, Qin said,
demanding the US change this wrongful action.
