Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng reaffirmed China's commitment to safeguarding its national interests and the rights of its overseas enterprises during high-level economic discussions with U.S. delegates on Monday. The talks, aimed at addressing bilateral trade concerns, highlighted Beijing's resolve to maintain a firm stance on protecting its economic sovereignty.
"China's determination to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests is unwavering," He stated, emphasizing the nation's approach to balancing cooperation with principled defense mechanisms. The dialogue comes amid heightened global attention to U.S.-China economic relations, particularly regarding technology transfers and market access.
Analysts suggest the remarks signal China's strategy to reassure domestic businesses while navigating complex international trade frameworks. The vice premier's comments align with recent efforts to strengthen legal protections for Chinese companies operating abroad, a priority for Beijing as it expands its global economic footprint.
