China has expressed serious concerns over the European Commission's proposed cybersecurity package, calling it protectionist and vowing to protect the interests of Chinese companies. This package is seen as targeting Chinese telecommunications suppliers by emphasizing "mandatory de-risking".

• Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun stated that Chinese companies have operated in Europe in compliance with laws and have not endangered national security.
• The European Commission's proposal for a revised Cybersecurity Act includes enabling the de-risking of European mobile telecommunications networks from high-risk third-country suppliers.
• Guo emphasized that applying non-technical standards without factual evidence violates market principles and constitutes "blatant protectionism".
