On Saturday, China’s Ministry of Commerce said: “[Washington has] continuously overstretched the concept of national security, abused state power, and unreasonably suppressed Chinese companies. “Such actions by the US have seriously undermined the international economic and trade order, jeopardised the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.”
