China welcomes U.S. companies to operate and develop in its market, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday, in response to media questions on recent developments about China-U.S. trade and investment.
At the 2025 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit held in Beijing on May 22, Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said that U.S. enterprises in China have always believed in the Chinese market, and they hope both governments can find ways to cooperate for the benefit of enterprises and consumers on both sides.
Besides, there are also reports that many U.S. companies, including J.P. Morgan Chase, have stated that they will continue to invest in China.
Speaking at a press conference in Beijing, Mao Ning, the spokeswoman, said China-U.S. trade and economic relations are mutually beneficial in nature. "China-U.S. economic ties benefit both sides. Such cooperation between the world's two largest economies has brought tangible benefit to businesses and consumers of both countries," she said.
"After the China-U.S. economic and trade meeting in Geneva, orders from U.S. purchasers and cargo ship bookings between the two countries surged, testifying to the enormous two-way demand between China and the U.S.," Mao said.
"Protectionism will lead nowhere. We welcome companies from all countries, including the U.S., to operate and develop in China, deepen cooperation with China, and jointly create more opportunities and a better future," said the spokeswoman.
