A US Senator recently released a statement saying that garlic grown in China poses “major threat” to food safety in the U.S. and requesting to include garlic from China in the List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor and initiate investigation.
With regard to this statement, the spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign ministry clarified China’s stand on Sino-American trade and economic relations.
She said that Chinese net users are laughing at this absurd accusation of the U.S. politicians. I don’t think it could ever occur to garlic that it would pose a “major threat” to the U.S., she mocked.
She continued that from drones to cranes, from refrigerators to garlic, more and more Chinese-made products have been accused by the U.S. of “posing national security risks”, but the U.S. has failed to show any reliable evidence or rationale to back up these accusations.
She stressed that overstretching the concept of national security and politicizing and weaponizing trade and tech issues will only heighten security risks in the global industrial and supply chains.
This will do no one good, she said and urged some US politicians to gain rationality and common knowledge and to avoid exposing themselves to public ridicule.
