US told to foster biz-friendly climate

China calls on the United States to translate its commitments into practical actions and foster a more enabling climate for enterprises to engage in two-way trade and investment cooperation, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

Decoupling and so-called de-risking will only obstruct normal business operations and investment, said Commerce Ministry spokeswoman Shu Jueting at a news conference in Beijing, stressing that such actions are not in the fundamental interests of businesses on both sides.

China hopes the US will take concrete steps and deliver on its assurance that it will not seek to contain or suppress China's development or to decouple from the country, as a stable and growing China is good for the US and the whole world, Shu said.
