In response to a question on the claim by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it will vote this month on a proposal to bar all Chinese labs from testing electronic devices for use in the US, Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said at a regular press conference on Thursday that "China firmly opposes the US practice of overstretching the concept of national security."

Such approach severely disrupts normal economic and trade exchanges between Chinese and US enterprises and does not serve the interests of any party, including US companies and consumers. China will continue to firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, said Mao.
