Pressure on Chinese Business
"I’ve seen relevant reports. They mentioned that the US would use government power to cripple Chinese companies. This is quite concerning," Mao said during a briefing.
"The US has been stretching the concept of national security to hamper China-US business ties and sci-tech exchanges. This is against the principle of market economy and international economic and trading rules. It undercuts global confidence in US business environment and will backfire on the US," the diplomat added.
