Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

When being asked for comments on reports that said two Chinese nationals were charged with sending advanced AI chips made by Nvidia Corp. to China in violation of US export restrictions, citing the US Justice Department, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Thursday that China opposes the US politicizing tech and trade issues and using them as weapons to maliciously blockade and go after China.

China urged the US to earnestly protect the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese nationals, Guo said.
