BEIJING/WASHINGTON: China warned its companies operating in the United States on Tuesday they could face harassment from U.S. law enforcement agencies, as it also rebuffed U.S. criticism of a trade white paper as"singing the same old tune".
After having warned Chinese students and academics on Monday about risks involved in studying in the United States, the government on Tuesday widened its warning to include Chinese companies and tourists. Trump's administration said on Monday that China was pursuing a"blame game" in recent public statements and a weekend white paper that misrepresented the trade negotiations.
Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen, a prominent member of Beijing's negotiating team, said in presenting the paper to the media that it would be impossible for the United States to use"extreme pressure" to force concessions from China.
