BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- China firmly rejects allegations by certain U.S. officials, which are full of fact-distorting fabrications and means of blatant tech-bullying and unilateral coercion, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday.

Lin made the remarks at a regular press briefing in response to a query about recent attacks by certain U.S. officials against Chinese tech companies on social media.

Lin said Chinese tech firms have become well-known for their advanced technologies, competitive pricing and secure and efficient services. When operating overseas, they strictly abide by local laws, regulations and industry norms, the spokesperson added.

In fact, Chinese tech firms have won wide recognition and appreciation from local partners and communities, contributed to host-country socioeconomic growth and job creation, and proven themselves genuinely reliable suppliers, Lin said.

"In stark contrast, the U.S. has long engaged in tapping, surveillance, and cyber-attacks across Latin America and the Caribbean, leaving nations there feeling insecure and distrustful of Washington," Lin noted.

"We advise the U.S. to stop its political manipulation, stop interfering with sovereign nations' right to independently choose cooperation partners, and instead contribute to prosperity and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean through concrete actions," Lin said. Enditem
