China urges fair treatment of its investors, firms

China urged the United States to treat its investors and enterprises objectively and fairly, the Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday, adding it will closely monitor the impact of the latest US foreign investment act on Chinese interests.

The ministry's remarks come after US President Donald Trump signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, in which the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act was incorporated.

China will conduct a full evaluation of the act and closely assess its impact on Chinese investors and companies, said a ministry spokesperson.
