Ministry slams US bill's take on China

China strongly objects to the "America COMPETES Act of 2022" recently passed by the United States House of Representatives, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Monday, adding that the China-related content in the act represents a cold-war, zero-sum-game mentality.

"It defames China's development path and its domestic and foreign policies, agitates strategic competition against China and makes irresponsible remarks on issues related to Taiwan, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet," Zhao told reporters at a news briefing in Beijing.

China urged the US to view China and bilateral ties in an objective and rational way, delete the negative content about China, halt work on the bill and refrain from undermining the China-US relationship and bilateral cooperation in key fields, Zhao said.
