Beijing: China has put a strong emphasis on intellectual property rights protections and urged all WTO members to respect the rules of the organisation, the Ministry of Commerce said as US President Donald Trump prepares to launch a broad investigation into China’s trade policies.
“China and US trade cooperation is the ‘ballast and propeller’ of bilateral relations and is mutually beneficial. We hope the two countries will continue on a path of cooperation,” Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng told a news conference on Thursday.
