The Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM)-- A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce answered a reporter's question on US Treasury sanctions on Chinese entities and individuals on Iraq-related grounds. A reporter asked: recently, the US Treasury announced sanctions against some Chinese entities and individuals on the grounds that they were involved in Iranian missile and military programs. What is China's comment? A: China opposes that the US has included some Chinese enterprises and individuals on the "list of specially designated nationals" to impose sanctions on the so-called Iraq-related grounds. The US side's practice lacks factual basis and due process, thus harming the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and individuals. The US side should stop its unreasonable crackdown on Chinese enterprises and individuals. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and individuals.
