The spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to this at the end of July that the formation and development of global industrial chains and supply chains is the result of the role of market laws.

"We hope that South Korea will start from its long-term interests and the principle of fair and open market, adhere to an objective and fair position, and do more things that are conducive to the development of China-South Korea relations and the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain."
