Iran Press/ Iran news: Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi has reacted to Washington's sanctioning of 28 Chinese organizations due to what it calls violation of Uighurs' Muslim rights, emphasising that extraterritorial jurisdiction of national law is rejected by international law and economic sanctions are considered violation of the rights of nations and the security of international trade, reported Iran Press.
Condemning the Trump regime's actions, the spokesman noted that the United States lacks the moral authority to sanction others on the pretext of protecting Muslims' rights due to committing numerous crimes against innocent Muslims around the world, especially in the Middle East.
The US government widened its trade blacklist to include some of China's top artificial intelligence startups, ratcheting up tensions ahead of high-level trade talks in Washington this week.
The decision, which drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing, targets 20 Chinese public security bureaus and eight companies, including video surveillance firm Hikvision, as well as leaders in facial recognition technology SenseTime Group Ltd and Megvii Technology Ltd.
The action bars the firms from buying components from US companies without the approval of the US government.
