China Fires Warning Shot at U.S. Over IP Probe

摘要

Beijing will take all actions needed to protect Chinese interests if the U.S. continues to take unilateral, protectionist actions on trade, the Ministry of Commerce said Jan. 11. The U.S. probe into China's intellectual property practices could compromise the international trade framework because it is based only on U.S. laws and rules, ministry spokesman Gao Feng told reporters Jan. 11, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The briefing was held at the ministry in Beijing.
