[The U.S. Congress is about to vote on a bill to restrict U.S. investment in China, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds] Jinshi Data reported on December 18 that Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. The U.S. Congress will vote on legislation to restrict U.S. investment in China in the next few days, including some so-called "China poses a threat to its national security". Lin Jian said that Sino-U.S. economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and will benefit the people of both countries. The practice of generalizing the concept of national security and artificially setting up 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 production and supply chain, and is not in the interests of any party. "China urges relevant U.S. politicians to stop politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues and create the necessary conditions for economic and trade cooperation between the two countries." Lin Jian said. (Beijing Daily) (Reprinted from: Jinshi Data)
