China expresses 'unfair' action of Japan for restricting purchase from Huawei

China's commerce ministry said on Thursday it has expressed concerns to Japan about its decision to restrict government purchases from telecommunication equipment makers Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp.

The ministry has noticed that Huawei and ZTE's business operations have suffered in Japan, and if Tokyo's action is unfair, it will hurt mutual trust between the two countries, ministry spokesman Gao Feng told a regular briefing.
