China's parliament expressed indignation and opposition on Wednesday to a US bill aimed at countering a technology threat from the Asian giant, the official Xinhua news agency said.
In a statement, the foreign affairs committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) said the bill displayed a Cold War mentality, smearing China's domestic and foreign policies and interfering in its internal affairs, the agency said.
The US Senate voted 68-32 on Tuesday to approve a sweeping package of legislation intended to boost the country's ability to compete with Chinese technology.
