China’s Vice Commerce Minister Ling Ji assured U.S. companies, including Tesla and GE Healthcare, of the country’s commitment to safeguarding the rights of foreign-funded firms, emphasizing that China remains a “safe and promising investment ground.” His statements, made at a roundtable in Beijing, indicate that Beijing does not plan to penalize U.S. companies amid ongoing tariff disputes, attributing the root cause of these tensions to U.S. actions. President Xi Jinping previously highlighted the significant contributions of foreign firms to China’s economy, underlining their role in imports, exports, and job creation.
