JAKARTA - Chinese authorities have urged Canada to correct its decision to ban the products and services of information technology companies Huawei and ZTE.
"We urge the Canadian side to maintain its cooperation with China objectively and immediately correct its wrong actions," the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (Mofcom) said, citing Antara, Sunday, May 22.
Canada has announced plans to exclude products and services from the two Chinese telecommunications giants operating telecommunications systems in Canada.
The ban was based on concerns about Canada's national security threat.
China strongly opposes Canada's unilateral decision because it is considered to violate the principles of the market economy and trade regulations so that it can damage China-Canada economic cooperation relations.
Mofcom also stated that Canada's suspicions could not be substantiated.
China will learn more about Canada's actions against Chinese companies and take countermeasures as needed.
