[The Ministry of Commerce Responds to 'U.S. Launching 301 Investigations Against China and 15 Other Economies': Has Raised Concerns with the U.S.] According to Jinshi News, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce responded to questions regarding the U.S. Trade Representative Office's announcement of launching 301 investigations against 16 economies, including China, citing 'failure to prohibit the import of products made with forced labor.' The Ministry of Commerce stated that the U.S. has previously fabricated facts and imposed a series of trade restrictions on China under the pretext of 'forced labor,' to which China has repeatedly expressed its firm stance. Currently, China and the U.S. are holding a new round of economic and trade consultations in Paris, France, and China has raised concerns with the U.S. We urge the U.S. to immediately correct its erroneous actions, work together with China, adhere to the principles of mutual respect and equal consultation, and seek solutions to problems through dialogue and negotiation. We will closely monitor the progress of the U.S. investigation, reserve the right to take all necessary measures, and firmly safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.
