China’s Commerce Minister rejected U.S. concerns that Chinese investments in the U.S. were a potential Trojan horse and urged the administration of President Barack Obama to keep politics and economic issues apart.

“This notion smacks a little of Cold War mentality,” Chen Deming told reporters at a briefing in Beijing during the Communist Party’s 18th National Congress. “If you regard me as a potential Trojan horse, how will I view you? It’s not in America’s interests to think this way.”
