"Firstly, the U.S. accusations are the wrong and one-sided interpretations of Chinese relevant laws. China's National Intelligence Law stipulates not only the obligations of organizations and citizens to lawfully support, assist and cooperate with the country's intelligence service, but also the obligations of national intelligence service to carry out its work according to law, respect and protect human rights, and uphold the lawful rights and interests of individuals and organizations. Besides, there are many other provisions in other Chinese laws to protect the lawful rights and interests of citizens and organizations, including data security and privacy right. These provisions are also applicable to national intelligence service. The U.S. should view the issue in a comprehensive and objective manner instead of making one-sided and wrong interpretation that is out of context."

China has consistently adhered to the principles of international law of mutual respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit. China's Constitution and related laws also have similar provisions. Based on the principle, China always opposes any country to bypass normal channels of cooperation and unilaterally uses its domestic laws to force enterprises and individuals to provide them data, information and intelligence service in China. Likewise, China has never required, and will never require enterprises and individuals to collect or provide overseas information and data obtained through installing 'backdoors', in violation of local laws."

"Fourth, the U.S. and some of its allies apply double standards on the issue and confuse the public, which is in fact an excuse to suppress the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese enterprises. It uses political means to interfere in economic activity, which is hypocritical, immoral and unfair bullying. I hope that each country can truly adhere to the principle of fair competition and help maintain a fair, equitable and non-discriminatory market so as to promote the healthy development of cooperation in the related industry."

Storyline


China's Foreign Ministry on Monday said China has not required and will never require its companies to gather private or sensitive data from foreign countries.

At a news briefing in Beijing, Geng Shuang, the ministry's spokesman, refuted the U.S. accusations that Chinese companies are asked to cooperate with their government to steal foreign secrets under China's National Intelligence Law, saying they are incorrect and one-sided interpretations.

Geng elaborated China's stance on the issue from four aspects.

"Firstly, the U.S. accusations are the wrong and one-sided interpretations of Chinese relevant laws. China's National Intelligence Law stipulates not only the obligations of organizations and citizens to lawfully support, assist and cooperate with the country's intelligence service, but also the obligations of national intelligence service to carry out its work according to law, respect and protect human rights, and uphold the lawful rights and interests of individuals and organizations. Besides, there are many other provisions in other Chinese laws to protect the lawful rights and interests of citizens and organizations, including data security and privacy right. These provisions are also applicable to national intelligence service. The U.S. should view the issue in a comprehensive and objective manner instead of making one-sided and wrong interpretation that is out of context," he said.

"Secondly, it is an international practice to maintain national security with legislation and to require organizations and individuals to cooperate with national intelligence work. The Five Eyes, comprising United States, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and western countries such as France and Germany all have similar regulations," said Geng.

"Thirdly, the Chinese government has all along required Chinese enterprises to strictly abide by local laws and regulations when doing business overseas. The stance would not change. China has consistently adhered to the principles of international law of mutual respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit. China's Constitution and related laws also have similar provisions. Based on the principle, China always opposes any country to bypass normal channels of cooperation and unilaterally uses its domestic laws to force enterprises and individuals to provide them data, information and intelligence service in China. Likewise, China has never required, and will never require enterprises and individuals to collect or provide overseas information and data obtained through installing 'backdoors', in violation of local laws," the spokesman said.

"Fourth, the U.S. and some of its allies apply double standards on the issue and confuse the public, which is in fact an excuse to suppress the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese enterprises. It uses political means to interfere in economic activity, which is hypocritical, immoral and unfair bullying," he said.

Geng stressed, "I hope that each country can truly adhere to the principle of fair competition and help maintain a fair, equitable and non-discriminatory market so as to promote the healthy development of cooperation in the related industry."
