CCTV News: According to the Ministry of Commerce website, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions about the U.S. Department of Commerce's announcement to launch information and communication technology and services for drone systems in China and other countries.
A reporter asked: Recently, the US Department of Commerce announced that it would launch a national security risk investigation on UAV systems in China and other countries. What is China’s comment on this?
A: China noticed that on January 3, 2025, US time, the US Department of Commerce announced the launch of a national security risk investigation on UAV systems in China and other countries. China is strongly dissatisfied with this and firmly opposes it.
The US side has unreasonably suspected that there are information security risks in the UAV systems in China and other countries, and is extremely irresponsible. This is a naked generalization of the concept of national security and abusing national power to suppress other countries' industries, which will interfere with the stability and smooth flow of the global industrial chain and supply chain, and damage the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, including American users.
China will closely monitor the progress of the situation and urge the US to respect objective facts and immediately stop wrong practices.
