Li said China will work to address the reasonable concerns of U.S. companies operating in China and safeguard a level playing field in accordance with the law.
Li also called on the U.S. side to work with China in the same direction, take concrete actions to address China's concerns, and jointly implement the outcomes of the bilateral economic and trade consultations.
McInerney and other members of the delegation said the U.S. business community is full of confidence regarding the implementation of China's 15th Five-Year Plan and the prospects of China's economic development, and will continue to expand investment in China.
Bangladesh weighs China and US
A Rediff analysis framed Bangladesh’s China-US tilt as increasingly consequential for Dhaka’s foreign policy, especially as Tarique Rahman’s likely absence from the BRICS Outreach session raised questions about the direction of Bangladesh’s evolving foreign policy.
The piece described a debate in India over whether Bangladesh’s attempt to balance China and the US could leave it “falling between two stools,” while another view held that pragmatism would prevail because Bangladesh cannot afford to turn its back on India.
It also tied the uncertainty to domestic politics and economic vulnerabilities, and cited Sheikh Hasina’s virtual press conference in Delhi on August 5, saying she intends to return home voluntarily in December.
In that context, the article quoted a retired diplomat saying, “India has strategic and political interests to bring Bangladesh to participate in mid-September,” adding that New Delhi does not want Bangladesh to be completely under the influence of China and Pakistani hands.
SCO summit and sanctions
An Al Jazeera report said the leaders of China, Russia and India met in Bishkek for the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on August 31, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also in attendance.
“The final declaration of the summit issued on September 1 called for the creation of a new development bank”
The report said the final declaration issued on September 1 called for the creation of a new development bank, which Russian President Vladimir Putin said would have “maximum independence from the financial systems of the states which weaponize economic tools in order to obtain unilateral advantages in international affairs.”
It argued that China would not comply with U.S. sanctions on Iran, saying “China will do everything necessary to firmly safeguard its rights and interests” after the United States announced the latest package of sanctions against Iran.
The article also stated that by purchasing 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, China “single-handedly kept the Iranian economy afloat,” while evading U.S. sanctions through “dark fleets” and “teapot” refineries.
