Letters from China’s embassy in Washington have pressed executives to urge members of Congress to alter or drop specific bills that seek to enhance US competitiveness, according to the sources and the text of a letter sent by the embassy’s economic and commercial office seen by Reuters.
Chinese officials warned companies they would risk losing market share or revenue in China if the legislation becomes law, according to the text of the letter.
The Chinese embassy and the head of its economic and commercial office did not return separate requests for comment.
