China blasted on Wednesday a United States report calling Beijing a top threat, urging Washington to stop hyping up such a narrative and stop viewing China in its own hegemonic mentality.

According to the report published by US intelligence agencies on Tuesday, China remains the top military and cyber threat to the US, and Beijing was making "steady but uneven" progress on capabilities it could use to "capture Taiwan".

"Washington has been releasing such kind of irresponsible and biased reports year after year to peddle the theory of 'China threat' and major-country competition as pretexts to contain and suppress Beijing as well as safeguard it hegemony," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.

China has no intention of suppressing or replacing any other country, Guo told a daily news conference.

In terms of the Taiwan question, Guo reiterated that it is China's internal affair and "Taiwan independence" is opposed.

As the saying goes, those with a hammer see everything like a nail, he said, urging the US to stop any kind of support to "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, stop spreading the "threat of China".

Washington should promote a steady, sound and sustainable development relationship with Beijing through concrete actions, he said.

Export restriction list

Guo said China also expressed opposition and condemnation over the United States' placing dozens of Chinese companies on the export restriction list, vowing to take necessary measures to safeguard the lawful rights of Chinese companies.

According to reports, the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security added six subsidiaries of Inspur Group, China's leading cloud computing and big data service provider, and dozens of other Chinese entities to its export restriction list on Tuesday.

The bureau claimed that these entities "acquire or attempt to acquire US-origin items in support of supercomputer projects for the Chinese government and/or military."

"We urged Washington to stop abusing various kinds of sanctions lists to unreasonably oppress Chinese companies," Guo said.

The US has abused entity list and other export controls to impose illegal unilateral sanctions under the pretext of endangering US national security and violating US foreign policy, Guo said.

This is a typical hegemonic behavior that severely violates international law and the basic norms governing international relations, harms lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies, and undermines the security and stability of the global industrial and supply chains, he said.

The US should stop overstretching the concept of national security, stop politicizing trade and tech issues and using them as a weapon and a tool, Guo said.
