The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) has strongly opposed the United States' broad interpretation of national security, which is seen as a means to restrict economic and trade exchanges with China.Responding to the "America First Investment Policy" memorandum, a CCPIT spokesperson criticized U.S. measures that limit Chinese investments in strategic sectors such as technology, critical infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and raw materials.The spokesperson explained that these restrictions are enforced not only through rigorous security reviews but also via economic sanctions and detailed financial audits that scrutinize the scope, types, and sources of investments.He warned that if these measures are implemented, they would severely disrupt normal business operations, undermine the established international economic and trade order, and destabilize global industrial and supply chains.The CCPIT urged the U.S. to respect market economy laws and fair competition, clarify the boundaries of national security in economic affairs, and lift restrictions on two-way investments to create an environment conducive to mutually beneficial cooperation.source : https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-02-24/China-slams-U-S-restrictions-on-bilateral-trade-investment-1BfK3H18ZcQ/p.html
