BEIJING -China should implement its commitments to equal treatment for foreign business and abandon"implicit" guidance to replace foreign products with domestic alternatives, the American Chamber of Commerce in China said on Tuesday.
"We feel that local officials are reacting to the levels of tension in the relationship and just taking the safer path which is to offer preference to domestic industry," he said, speaking at a news conference on Tuesday. Beijing has repeatedly said it treats foreign and domestic firms equally and welcomes foreign investment. The government is meanwhile also trying to spur domestic innovation and reduce reliance on foreign technology and markets.
U.S.-China tensions were seen as a challenge to doing business in China for 78per cent of companies polled by AmCham, according to a survey released in March.

They should ask themselves. Do they have fair practices on China.

The Chinese had the rights and freedoms to dump the US Treasury bonds too!
Don't the Chinese consumers have the freedom to choose what to buy and whom to buy from?
