Beijing said it will respond to Taiwan's move to add several Chinese companies, including Huawei, to an export-control list that restricts their access to advanced technology.

"We will take forceful measures to resolutely safeguard the normal order of cross-strait economic and trade exchange," Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said at a briefing Wednesday, without elaborating.

Zhu said that a "technological blockade cannot stop the pace of scientific and technological innovation in mainland China" and will only hurt Taiwan enterprises.

The Taiwan Affairs Office is part of China's State Council.

Earlier this month, the International Trade Administration under Taiwan's Economic Affairs Ministry said it added 601 entities to a sanctions and control list, including Huawei Technologies and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. Taiwanese companies will need to obtain a license if they want to do business with the two Chinese firms.

The move comes amid tensions between Beijing and Washington over advanced technology, with the U.S. seeking to restrict some companies' access to certain tech.

Huawei and SMIC didn't respond to requests for comment. Requests for comment from Taiwan's Foreign Affairs Ministry and trade officials weren't immediately returned.
