China has accused the United States of abusing its national power by placing more than 60 Chinese companies on blacklists. Beijing asserts that Washington has disregarded the agreement made between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping during their meeting in Beijing in May.

"The US has disregarded the consensus reached by the leaders of China and the US during their meeting in Beijing," stated the Chinese embassy in Washington. The embassy further alleged that the Trump administration has "excessively expanded the concept of national security, misused state power and unjustifiably suppressed Chinese enterprises, seriously undermining their legitimate rights and interests."

Despite these escalating tit-for-tat actions, sources familiar with the matter suggest they are unlikely to negatively affect Xi Jinping's anticipated visit to the United States in September. Meanwhile, Chinese tech firms impacted by the Pentagon's designations have initiated legal proceedings to challenge these measures.
