BEIJING (Reuters) -China has launched an investigation into how a U.S. Section 301 probe affects Chinese shipping and shipbuilding industries and the security of relevant supply chains, the transport ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The investigation will also look into whether relevant companies, organisations or individuals have implemented or assisted the United States in taking “discriminatory restrictive measures” against China in these sectors and relevant industrial and supply chain, the ministry said in its statement.
