According to data released by both China and the United States, the total trade volume between China and the United States reached a new historical high in 2022. Recently, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, Shu Jueting, stated that trade cooperation between China and the United States is closely related to the vital interests of the two peoples and plays a crucial role in global economic growth. The trade volume between China and the United States has reached a historic high, demonstrating strong resilience, and fully demonstrating the highly complementary trade and economic structure, economic and trade cooperation, and the essence of mutual benefit and win-win situation between China and the United States. We have noticed that the American Chamber of Commerce in China recently stated that for American companies, the Chinese market is not an option, but a necessary option. The Chamber of Commerce will work with member companies to seize new development opportunities. The National Committee on Trade between China and the United States believes that linking the United States and China is a good strategy for benefiting the people of both countries. China will always adhere to open cooperation and provide opportunities for the world through its own development

In addition, in response to the US plan to ban investment in some Chinese technology companies and strengthen scrutiny of other companies, Shu Jueting said, "A government intervenes in the normal commercial decision-making of enterprises through administrative means, which undermines market rules and international economic and trade order, harms the interests of enterprises and investors, is not conducive to China and the United States, and is not conducive to the entire world

She said that in 2022, China's actual use of foreign investment reached 1232.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%, with the main source of investment generally increasing. The door to China's opening up will continue to widen, and China will continue to build a market-oriented, legal, and international business environment. We welcome enterprises from various countries, including American companies, to invest and prosper in China, sharing the dividends of development.
