All countries responsible for keeping global supply chain safe, stable, unimpeded: Chinese foreign ministry

BEIJING, July 15 — Keeping the global supply chain safe, stable and unimpeded is the shared responsibility of all countries, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a query, as the Financial Times citing the latest study wrote that Europe and the United States would need to invest an extra 23.6 trillion U.S. dollars over the next 25 years to end their reliance on China in critical industries by 2050 and that it’s impossible to replicate the industrial and supply chains in the short run.
