The China Great Wall Industry Corp demanded the United States remove it from a list of companies whose assets in the US have been blocked and compensate it for all losses incurred, Xinhua news agency reported.

The China Great Wall Industry Corp "has never rendered assistance to any country for any weapon of mass destruction program," the company said in a statement.

"It is simply unreasonable that the US Government is alleging that the (Corporation) is engaging in proliferation activities and has imposed sanctions pursuant to its (own) domestic laws."

The U.S. Treasury Department last week accused four Chinese companies and one U.S. company of supplying Iran with missile-related components and called for a freeze of any assets the companies may have under U.S. jurisdiction.

The Chinese companies were Beijing Alite Technologies Company, Ltd., LIMMT Economic and Trade Company, Ltd., China Great Wall Industry Corporation, and China National Precision Machinery Import/Export Corporation.

"The Chinese firms have provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of" Iranian missile programs that are capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction, according to a US Treasury statement.

Among the weapons produced in the program are the Fateh-110 missile, with a range of 200 kilometers (120 miles), and Fajr rocket systems, a series of North Korean-designed rockets with ranges of between 40 and 100 kilometers, the statement said.

The Chinese government on Thursday rejected the U.S. charges and reiterated its opposition to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems.
