Beijing Slams US Interrogation, Deportation of Chinese Company Employees

(MENAFN) China on Monday criticized what it described as “unwarranted” interrogations, detentions, and deportations of personnel from Chinese firms by US authorities, labeling the measures as “rough” and “coercive.”

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told reporters that US law enforcement agencies have repeatedly subjected employees of Chinese companies to “prolonged and unjustified interrogations, detentions, and deportations upon entry into the US.”

“Their enforcement methods have been rough and coercive, seriously infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and gravely undermining the normal atmosphere of business exchanges, cooperation, and people-to-people interactions between the two countries,” Lin added.

He further stated that these actions violate agreements reached by the two countries’ leaders during their meeting in South Korea last year, particularly concerning economic and trade cooperation.

“China expresses strong dissatisfaction with and firm opposition to this,” Lin said.
