China has called on the United States to stop exaggerating security concerns and interfering with its global trade relations, Xinhua reported.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, responded Wednesday to US claims that Chinese companies are establishing a network of ports worldwide to exert control over trade and conduct espionage. Lin urged the US to halt its “so-called China threat” rhetoric and refrain from disrupting China’s economic and trade cooperation with other nations.
