A reporter asked: On [Month Day] Eastern Time, the White House website released an "America First" investment policy memorandum, announcing adjustments to U.S. investment policies with a focus on further restricting two-way investment with China. How does the Ministry of Commerce respond to this?

A: China has noted the relevant situation. The US approach overstretches the concept of national security, is discriminatory, and is a typical non-market practice, which seriously affects normal economic and trade cooperation between enterprises of the two countries.

在中国赴美投资方面，美针对中国投资加严安全审查，将严重打击中国企业对美投资信心。希望美方为中国企业赴美投资提供公平、透明、稳定、可预期的营商环境。

In terms of U.S. investment in China, the U.S. side will further adopt more restrictive measures, which is highly unreasonable. Once these measures are implemented, they will further distort investment exchanges between the two countries and will not benefit the U.S. itself. Many U.S. business associations and enterprises have already pointed out that U.S. restrictions on investment in China will lead to American companies ceding the Chinese market to other competitors.

China urges the United States to abide by international investment and trade rules, respect the laws of the market economy, and cease politicizing and weaponizing economic and trade issues. China will closely monitor the actions of the United States and take necessary measures to defend its legitimate rights and interests.
