The Chinese authorities have called on the US to stop undue pressure on Chinese companies and are strongly opposed to the US President’s decree banning US investments in a number of Chinese companies that Washington believes are linked to the Chinese Armed Forces. This was announced by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
“China has repeatedly expressed its firm position on unwarranted US pressure on Chinese companies. Regardless of the facts, the American side has determined that some of the relevant Chinese companies are controlled by the military. This is unjustified and not in accordance with the law. China is firmly against this”, – the statement says. – “China calls on the American side to stop undue pressure on Chinese companies, to provide honest, fair, non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises in the United States.”
