CHINA PRESS: China's accelerating reform and opening up of the economy, the

expansion of domestic market, growing advantages in the industrial supply chain

and deepening global cooperation have helped to hold off the negative impacts of

the Sino-U.S. trade spat and boost foreign investment in the country, wrote Peng

Bo, associate research fellow at the Ministry of Commerce, in a commentary piece

run by China Business News on Thursday.

- One of the Trump administration's intentions in starting a trade war is to

attack China while promoting the development of American manufacturing, Peng

said.

- Though it will cause certain damage to China's economy in the short-term, it

will help China break the dependence on the U.S., expand markets and upgrade

industrial capacity in the long term, Peng said.(Link to the story:
