China on Thursday urged the US to stop taking discriminatory and unfair measures against specific Chinese companies.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a routine press briefing in Beijing.

"China's position on the relevant issue is consistent and clear," Wang said. "We urge the US to stop overstretching the concept of national security, stop taking discriminatory and unfair measures against specific Chinese companies, and stop politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues."

China would continue to firmly safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies, he said.
