Garlic wouldn't dream of posing 'threat' to US: Foreign Ministry

China's foreign ministry on Friday (Dec. 13) urged U.S. politicians to exercise more "common sense" after a U.S. senator called for a probe into imports of Chinese garlic, citing concerns about so-called food safety in the country.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning remarked, "It's hard to believe that even garlic could pose a great threat to the United States."

According to her, from drones to cranes, from refrigerators to garlic, more and more Chinese products are being labeled as "national security risks" by the U.S.

"It's clear to everyone that these are nothing but a guise for the U.S. to engage in protectionism, abuse its national power to suppress China's development, and forcefully advocate for decoupling."

Mao stated that generalizing the concept of national security, politicizing and weaponizing economic, trade, and technological issues will only exacerbate global production and supply chain security risks, ultimately harming oneself.

"We advise certain American politicians to exercise more rational common sense to avoid becoming a laughing stock."
