China hits back at US' discriminatory business policies

China urges the United States to correct its wrongdoings and provide a fair, open, just,and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies investing and operating in the US, a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

The comments came after the US government earlier this week ordered China Telecom Americas to discontinue its services within 60 days.

Shu said the US move is an over-generalization of the concept of national security, abuse of national power and malicious suppression of a Chinese company without basis in fact, undermining the atmosphere of cooperation between the two sides.

Shu said China's economic and trade team has lodged solemn representations with the US and Beijing is seriously concerned by the ban.

China will continue to take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, Shu added.
