Taiwan's decision to impose export restrictions on hundreds of Chinese companies, including Huawei and SMIC, has triggered a strong backlash from Beijing, which has vowed to respond in a bid to 'defend its economic and technological interests,' reports Bloomberg.

"Such despicable acts are utterly contemptible," said Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, reports China's state-owned Global Times.
