The Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said that in restricting US companies’ investments in China, with national security as a cover, it is clear that the US is overstretching the concept of security and politicizing business engagement. This move from the US has made serious political step on their side, according to Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson.
