> China's Ministry of Commerce urged the United States to recognize Chinese companies' progress, stop smearing and suppressing them, and ensure fair competition. Responding to US sanctions on five Chinese firms over alleged trade-secret theft, the ministry said the allegations were used to stigmatize Chinese companies, firmly opposed the move and warned Beijing would take necessary measures to protect their rights.
