On December 18th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked, "What is your comment on the legislation that will restrict US investment in China in the coming days, including some projects that pose a threat to China's national security?
Lin Jian said that China US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win and benefits the two peoples. The practice of generalizing the concept of national security and artificially setting obstacles to normal economic and trade exchanges for political purposes violates the principles of market economy, fair competition, and free trade that the United States has always advocated, disrupts the stability of the global supply chain, and is not in line with the interests of any party.
China urges relevant US politicians to stop politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues, and to create necessary conditions for economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, "said Lin Jian.
