[Ministry of Commerce: Expresses Serious Concern and Firm Opposition to the Proposed New Rules on Foreign Investment Restrictions by the United States] A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated that China expresses serious concern and firm opposition to the proposed new rules on foreign investment restrictions released by the U.S. Treasury Department on October 23. China will closely monitor developments and reserves the right to take corresponding measures. The proposed rules discriminate against and expand the scope of restrictions on investment in China, disrupt normal economic and trade cooperation between Chinese and American enterprises, and undermine international economic and trade order. China urges the United States to respect the laws of market economy, stop overgeneralizing the concept of national security, and stop politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues.
