Restrictions on US Investment in China Would Harm ‘Global Economic Growth,’ Say Chinese

Any new restrictions the U.S. puts on American investment in China, as the Trump administration reportedly is discussing, would “surely harm the interests of Chinese and American companies and the two peoples,” said a China Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Monday. That would cause “fluctuations in the financial market” and hurt international trade and “global economic growth,” he said. “This is not in the common interests of the international community.” The White House didn't comment.
