[Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The United States should abide by the principles of market economy and stop interfering with normal economic and trade cooperation between enterprises] On October 23, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked about the U.S. Treasury Department’s proposal to include biotechnology in the list of restricted technologies for foreign investment security projects. In this regard, Mao Ning said that generalizing the concept of national security, taking discriminatory measures against specific countries, and setting artificial restrictions on economic, trade and investment activities are not in the interests of any party. The United States should abide by the principles of market economy, stop interfering with normal economic and trade cooperation between companies, and effectively maintain the stability of the global production and supply chain. China will pay close attention to relevant trends and take necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. (CCTV News)
