“These moves (are) in violation of WTO non-discriminatory principles and fair competition principles of market economy severely damage the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. The Chinese side firmly opposes them,” the spokesperson, Ji Rong, said
Ji said the Chinese government always asks Chinese companies to observe international rules and local laws and regulations while doing business overseas.
