BEIJING, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- China's commerce ministry Thursday voiced opposition to trade protectionism in response to a reported failed deal by Chinese tech company Huawei in the United States.
Gao Feng, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said at a press conference that China is against trade protectionism in any form, and that he hopes the United States meets China halfway to promote healthy and stable Sino-U.S. economic ties.
News reports said earlier this week that Huawei's planned deal with U.S. telecoms carrier AT&T to sell its smartphones in the United States suffered a setback.
