China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sharply criticized US President Joe Biden's approach to the development of the American automobile industry, accusing him of politicizing the issue and hindering progress.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said that consumers around the world choose Chinese cars based on their quality and technology, rather than being influenced by what he called "unfair policies."
Mao Ning stressed that the politicization of economic and trade issues related to the auto industry is counterproductive and will only hinder the development of the US auto sector.
In response to these accusations, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized China's openness to global manufacturers wishing to gain access to the huge Chinese market.
He contrasted this with what he described as the US's involvement in trade protectionism, discriminatory subsidy policies and other barriers that he believes make it much more difficult for Chinese cars to enter the US market.
Against the backdrop of this exchange of views came President Joe Biden's recent announcement of an investigation into Chinese cars being imported into the US.
Biden has raised concerns about the potential threat to US national security posed by cars from China, arguing that they could not only collect information about citizens and infrastructure, but also transfer that data outside China's jurisdiction.
Amid escalating tensions between the two economic giants, the debate surrounding the auto industry is taking center stage, highlighting the complex interweaving of economic, technological and geopolitical considerations. The outcome of this dispute is likely to shape the landscape of international trade relations in the automotive sector.
