Chinese Blast Trump’s Threat to Pull US Business From China in a Second Term

President Donald Trump’s warning that he will remove all U.S. business from China in a second term got a sharp rebuke Friday from the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry. To threaten the “relocation of production capacity” as Trump did is “political manipulation that puts partisan and personal interests above U.S. national interests,” said a ministry spokesperson. “The perverse practice of going against the voluntary will of the vast business community, forcibly scrapping existing cooperation between countries, and coercing companies with regard to their normal investment and operation runs counter to the law of market economy and will eventually lead to self-harm.” China will "own our country” if Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is elected, Trump told the Republican National Convention Thursday evening.
