On November 11th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. Bloomberg reporter asked, according to US media reports, Republican members of the US House of Representatives are working on a bill that may cancel China's permanent normal trade relations status. What is the comment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this?
Lin Jian stated that according to the agreement reached between China and the United States on China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the United States announced in 2001 that it would grant China permanent normal trade relations status. Some politicians in the United States attempt to reverse history and bring the economic and trade relations between China and the United States back to the Cold War era, which violates WTO rules and will only harm the common interests of China and the United States, and interfere with the global economic operation. We urge relevant US lawmakers to strictly abide by WTO rules and stop their words and actions that harm others and benefit oneself.
