"The U.S. side should understand this comprehensively and objectively, and not make incorrect and one-sided interpretations," Geng said.
He added that it is an internationally accepted practice to use legislation to maintain national security and require organizations and individuals to cooperate with national intelligence work.
Members of the "Five Eyes" alliance including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Western countries such as France and Germany all have similar requirements, he said.
The Chinese government always demands its enterprises conduct economic cooperation on a legal basis in accordance with local laws and regulations, Geng said, adding that China has always adhered to the basic principles of international law including mutual respect for sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit.
China never demands any institution or individual to violate local laws or build "mandatory back doors" to collect data, information or intelligence located in foreign countries, said the spokesperson.
"The United States and a few of its allies are using double standards and deliberately misleading the public on the issue. They use the issue as an excuse for suppressing the legitimate development rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, using political means to intervene in economic behaviors. It's hypocritical, immoral and unfair bullying behaviors," said Geng.
