China expresses “serious concern” over latest US trade restrictions

China said it has “serious concern” about the latest US trade restrictions, arguing they will undermine commercial ties and destabilize supply chains. Chinese officials said the measures are politically driven and unfair, and urged Washington to reverse the steps or adjust them to avoid broader damage. China warned that it may take necessary responses depending on how the restrictions evolve, maintaining that both sides should protect normal trade and investment. The statement adds to heightened friction between Beijing and Washington as both continue tightening controls in strategic sectors.
