China resolutely opposes the move of the U.S. Commerce Department to place some Chinese companies on its export control "entity list," a spokesperson with China's Ministry of Commerce said on Saturday.

The spokesperson made the remarks in response to a media query on the U.S. Department of Commerce recently putting a number of Chinese entities on its export control "entity list" due to the so-called Russia-related reasons.

"The move is a typical act of economic coercion and unilateral bullying," said the spokesperson, noting that the U.S. side has generalized national security, abused export control measures, and arbitrarily imposed unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" on Chinese companies.

The U.S. side should immediately correct its wrong actions and stop its unreasonable suppression of Chinese companies. China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, the spokesperson said.
