Li Chao, deputy director of the policy research office at the CHINA STATE
PLANNER, told the agency's August briefing the so‑called "China squeeze"
argument is a baseless zero‑sum attack aimed at preserving hegemonic interests
and denying other countries' development rights. He said China is supporting
industrialization and green transition in developing countries through concrete
actions, that imports and exports with over 180 countries and regions rose in
the first seven months of the year, and pledged China will continue to
contribute to global development and human progress.
