China Vows ‘Forceful Measures’ After Taiwan’s Huawei Export Curb

Beijing vowed to respond to Taiwan’s “technological blockades” after the self-ruled island blacklisted Chinese companies including Huawei Technologies Co., limiting their ability to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

“We will take forceful measures to resolutely safeguard the normal order of cross-strait economic and trade exchange,” Taiwan Affairs Office spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian said Wednesday at a regular briefing in Beijing. She was responding to a question about Taiwan’ recent curbs on Chinese companies, and didn’t elaborate on how Beijing would respond.
