China slammed the recent launch of a full-fledged U. S. investigation into China’s alleged international property theft on Monday, calling the probe « irresponsible. »
« The United States’ disregard of World Trade Organization rules and use of domestic law to initiate a trade investigation against China is irresponsible, and its criticism of China is not objective, » a Chinese Commerce ministry spokesman said in a statement to Reuters .
« China expresses strong dissatisfaction with the United States’ unilateral protectionist action. We urge the U. S. side to respect the facts, » the statement continued.
The spokesman went on to say the country would take « all appropriate measures, and resolutely defend China’s lawful interests.
