China ratcheted up its opposition to the U.S. investigation into its intellectual property practices, accusing the Trump administration of sabotaging the international trading system, and again pledging to defend its interests if necessary.

At the same time, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng said at a briefing Thursday in Beijing that the two nations have more shared interests than disputes and stressed that cooperation is the best way to address any differences.

„The U.S. investigation of China based on domestic laws sabotages the existing international trading system, and has poured cold water on all parties that have been working to promote bilateral economic ties,“ Gao said. He added that China was strongly displeased by what it called „unilateral and protectionist“ action.
