At 10 a.m. today (February 20), the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the State Council’s policies. Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative of International Trade Negotiation, and relevant persons in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State Administration for Market Regulation introduced the relevant situation of expanding high-level opening up to the outside world and doing a good job in stabilizing foreign investment in 2025, and answered reporters’ questions. Zhu Bing, Director of the Foreign Investment Management Department of the Ministry of Commerce: Today I would like to declare again that the United States' practice of imposing tariffs seriously violates WTO rules. It is not only not conducive to solving its own problems, but also causes damage to the normal economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States. It is not conducive to the development of foreign-funded enterprises in China, including US-funded enterprises, and also interferes with the investment decisions of multinational corporations.
At the same time, China's economic foundation is stable, has many advantages, strong resilience and great potential, and the long-term economic trend and support conditions will not change. Many multinational companies are optimistic about the long-term development prospects of investing in China, and they are very willing to deepen their roots in China. We will continue to strive to build an international first-class business environment so that more foreign-funded enterprises can better share development opportunities.
