[00:00:31] China strongly opposes and the strong calls from industries in both China and the US, [00:00:35] the US has repeatedly imposed restrictive measures on China. [00:00:38] Today, the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant departments announced countermeasures against the US Federal Communications [00:00:42] Commission and the US Department of Homeland Security's series of measures targeting China. They will strengthen export controls on [00:00:46] dual-use items related to drones to the US, and suspend entrusting US-based political institutions [00:00:50] with factory tracking inspections. [00:00:54] 管 制 , 暂 停 委 托 在 美 任 政 机 构 实 施 [00:00:57] dialogue, but the very next day, [00:02:00] the US again used so-called human rights and forced [00:02:03] labor as an excuse to unilaterally sanction Chinese [00:02:07] companies. So, for such actions, [00:02:10] we naturally also have our own methods. As the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said, [00:02:14] China can only take necessary countermeasures [00:02:18] in response. And this time, there are five measures [00:02:22] taken at once. So why these five [00:02:26] countermeasures? [00:03:17] In response to the US Federal Communications Commission and the US Department of Homeland Security's series of measures targeting China, the reporter asked, [00:03:21] since the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state in San Francisco, the US Federal Communications Commission, [00:03:24] despite China's strong opposition and the strong calls from industries in both China and the US, [00:03:28] has continued to generalize the concept of national security [00:03:32] and repeatedly imposed restrictive measures on China, involving telecommunications operations, [00:03:36] testing laboratories, drones, consumer routers, [00:03:40] and submarine fiber optic cables, among many other areas. Recently, it has also taken [00:03:43] import restrictions on advanced robotic equipment and power inverters. [00:03:47] Especially, the US has disregarded China's repeated representations. [00:03:51] After the video call between the lead negotiators for China-US economic and trade talks on July 30th, [00:03:55] on July 31st, it again added 401 Chinese entities to the so-called Uyghur [00:03:58] Forced Labor Prevention Act entity list. China is strongly dissatisfied [00:04:02] with this and firmly opposes it. Reporters learned from the Ministry of Commerce [00:04:06] that on July 31st, US Eastern Time, the US Department of Homeland Security announced that it would add [00:04:09] over 40 Chinese entities to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act entity list. [00:04:13] 烈 不 满 , 坚 决 反 对 。 记 者 从 商 务 部 [00:04:17] 了 解 到 , 美 东 时 间 7 月 31 号 , 美 国 国 [00:04:21] 土 安 全 部 宣 布 将 40 余 家 中 国 实 体 [00:04:24] 增 列 制 维 尔 抢 迫 劳 动 预 防 法 实 体 [00:04:28] 清 单 。 [00:04:38] Among the entity list announced by the United States is ChaCha sunflower seeds. [00:04:42] , [00:04:46] These past two days, many media outlets have been asking how small sunflower seeds and [00:04:50] dumplings threaten US national security? In the document, [00:04:54] the US thus accuses, saying that ChaCha Food has been purchasing [00:04:58] from Xinjiang for many years. [00:05:12] There is no so-called forced labor in any form in Xinjiang. [00:05:16] This is purely slander. It should be known that currently, [00:05:19] the proportion of machine-picked cotton in Xinjiang has exceeded [00:05:22] 90%. From planting and picking to processing [00:05:26] and weaving, the entire industry chain has achieved a high degree of automation and [00:05:30] scale. On August 5th, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said that [00:05:34] the relevant measures of the US Federal Communications Commission and the US Department of Homeland Security adding relevant entities [00:05:38] to the so-called list [00:06:43] China truly values the hard-won stability of China-US economic and trade relations, and hopes that the US side can meet China halfway. [00:06:47] China urges the US to immediately withdraw the relevant measures, stop [00:06:51] its wrong practices, and return to the correct track of resolving differences through [00:06:55] friendly consultation and cooperation. To work together to maintain [00:06:59] a constructive and stable China-US strategic relationship. If the US insists on [00:07:02] introducing new restrictive measures against China, China will further [00:07:06] retaliate. [00:07:10] In one day, two departments [00:07:13] and five specific countermeasures were involved. [00:07:16] So how do we view China's combination of five punches [00:07:20] this time? For related questions, I will immediately connect to [00:07:24] Professor Tu Xingquan, Director of the China World Trade Organization Research Institute at the University of International Business and Economics. Uh, Director Tu, you see, [00:07:28] this round of China-US economic and trade friction actually has [00:07:31] a very important background, which is what we just mentioned, [00:07:35] that on July 30th, the lead negotiators for China-US economic and trade talks just held a video consultation. [00:07:39] The US is restricting our drone products, [00:10:25] including some robot products, from being exported to the US. So we might as well restrict the export [00:10:29] and transfer of drone technology to the US. [00:10:32] So through this, because we have a very big advantage [00:10:36] in the field of drones, including in terms of technology, [00:10:40] we also have a very big advantage. So through this kind of technology export [00:10:44] technology transfer or export control, we can restrict the development [00:10:48] of the US drone industry. So another one is like this. [00:10:52] government departments [00:11:25] protect our corresponding interests [00:11:28] through such a national security investigation method. As you just said, [00:11:32] especially the last item you just mentioned is to initiate [00:11:36] this national security investigation. [00:11:38] This time, we are basing it on the Foreign Trade Law, [00:11:42] and it is the first time that we have formally launched [00:11:46] a national security investigation under the Foreign Trade Law. What do you think this first time signifies? [00:11:50] Our country's Trade Law was last updated [00:11:54] in December of last year. [00:13:25] explain what this suspension ultimately means and what kind [00:13:29] of role and impact it will have next. So this measure [00:13:33] is aimed at some related measures of the US Federal Communications Commission that I just mentioned, [00:13:36] because the US Federal Communications Commission is actually a regulatory body, [00:13:40] just like our State Administration for Market Regulation, it is mainly a regulatory body [00:13:44] in the field of telecommunications. Logically, [00:13:48] such a regulatory body should maintain a non-discriminatory [00:13:51] stance. However, during this past period, [00:15:28] Uh, it should be said that since the meeting of the heads of state of China and the United States in San Francisco, the overall China-US economic and trade relations [00:15:32] have been relatively stable. However, recently, a series of small actions by relevant US agencies [00:15:36] have had a relatively negative impact [00:15:38] on the overall atmosphere of China-US economic and trade relations. So, in response, we must [00:15:42] retaliate. But at the same time, considering the overall situation of China-US economic and trade [00:15:45] relations, or the consensus reached by the heads of state of China and the United States [00:15:49] on a constructive and stable strategic relationship, [00:15:53] we still hope to use these somewhat measured [00:15:56] and restrained countermeasures to make the US aware of China's [00:16:00] attitude. At the same time, it is also a warning to the US [00:16:04] that if it continues to escalate [00:16:08] and take more trade restrictive measures against China [00:16:11] in the future, we also have [00:16:15] a backup plan, and we will also take [00:16:19] reciprocal countermeasures to make China's pressure felt by the US. [00:16:23] Okay, thank you, Director Tu, I will continue to ask you questions later. [00:16:27] Of course, China's position [00:16:30] is very firm, and the boundaries are very clear. [00:16:34] Can the US realize this? [00:16:55] After this round of expansion, the number of names on the US entity list increased from [00:16:58] 1444 to 187, an increase of [00:17:02] over 30%. Not only [00:17:05] these, but recently, the US has continuously [00:17:09] suppressed and sanctioned Chinese companies for various reasons, many of which are the latest achievements [00:17:13] of China's technological development. This includes, [00:17:16] after drones and routers, the US Federal Communications [00:17:20] Commission has repeatedly introduced restrictive measures against China, [00:17:23] targeting advanced robotic equipment and power inverters. [00:17:27] Protectionism cannot enhance US competitiveness; it will only harm the interests [00:17:31] of US companies and consumers. China will continue to take [00:17:34] necessary measures. [00:17:42] Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Yellen posted on social media, [00:17:45] warning that she would launch an investigation into so-called "stealing US money" [00:17:49] models of Chinese artificial intelligence companies, and possibly sanction [00:17:53] Chinese companies for stealing US intellectual property. [00:17:57] In response, the Ministry of Commerce said that labeling Chinese companies as "stealing" [00:18:01] and "stealing US intellectual property" [00:18:05] and threatening [00:18:50] Recently, the United States once again issued a ban. This time, the US is targeting optical modules, which are very critical components in AI infrastructure. [00:18:53] Reuters reported on the 4th, citing sources, that the Trump administration is drafting [00:18:57] a ban to prohibit the import of optical modules from China. [00:19:01] The US Federal Communications Commission is promoting the formulation of the ban. [00:19:05] In response, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson responded last night, firmly opposing the US's generalization of national security and unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. [00:19:16] He pointed out that the relevant protectionist practices harm [00:19:20] the interests of all parties. China will firmly safeguard the legitimate [00:19:23] rights and interests of its enterprises. Even so, exchanges between Chinese and American businesses [00:19:27] remain enthusiastic. Local time on July 30th, the China-US Economic and Trade [00:19:31] Cooperation Forum and the fifth CIIE Promotion Conference were held in [00:19:35] Chicago, Illinois, USA. [00:19:58] We need to make sure that we have um exchanges [00:20:02] between businesses. I think the more that we learn about each other, [00:20:05] the more we're going to see. communality um and I truly [00:20:09] believe um that we have lot to [00:20:12] gain by collaboration and um and [00:20:16] cooperation. [00:20:18] On one side, the official side is continuously increasing and escalating, and on the other side, companies from both China and the US are continuously strengthening exchanges. So what kind of approach is truly in line with this era? [00:20:32] Next, for related questions, let's continue to connect with Director Tu. [00:20:37] Director Tu, you see, in fact, China has already stated [00:20:40] many times the complete facts, which is that there is no so-called [00:20:44] forced labor in any form in Xinjiang. [00:20:48] But the US has been doing this for many years. [00:21:50] Well, the purpose is actually very simple, which is that it still hopes to use this method, [00:21:54] through the so-called industrial chain and supply chain perspective, [00:21:58] to include the relevant companies and industries related to Xinjiang [00:22:01] into its restrictive lists. On the one hand, this is to suppress [00:22:05] the development of Xinjiang and deny the legitimacy [00:22:09] of our ethnic autonomy policy. [00:22:12] On the other hand, it is also through these trade restrictive measures [00:22:16] to indeed exclude some internationally competitive products related to Xinjiang [00:22:20] from the US market. Um, in addition to the round of unilateral [00:22:24] sanctions announced by the US that we just talked about, we found [00:22:28] that the US also uses some, for example, media reports or some official [00:22:31] statements. It is releasing some so-called gossip, [00:22:35] including, for example, banning high-end [00:22:39] optical modules from China, for example, polysilicon products, [00:22:43] it may impose tariffs, including on some artificial intelligence companies [00:22:47] so-called "stealing US..." [00:23:50] it wants to portray it as a kind of intellectual property infringement, [00:23:53] and then use this reason to restrict our country's [00:23:57] related artificial intelligence companies to protect the US's [00:24:01] leading advantage. The issue of optical modules is also the same. Optical modules [00:24:05] are a very important hardware facility for artificial intelligence. The US [00:24:09] also hopes to establish its own optical module production [00:24:13] system. Currently, China has a very big advantage [00:24:16] in the field of optical module production. So it hopes to achieve this through this. [00:24:50] relatively small. So we are also through this resolute countermeasure, [00:24:53] hoping that the US can rein in, not continue to escalate, [00:24:57] not continue to upgrade these related restrictive measures. [00:25:00] And as we just mentioned, in fact, the interests and scope of cooperation [00:25:04] between Chinese and American companies are very large. We also [00:25:08] very much hope that the US can see the common [00:25:11] interests of both sides in China-US cooperation, and can adopt [00:25:15] a more rational attitude, a rational attitude.
