STORYLINE:
Chinese legislators on Friday endorsed a law meant to help end a costly tariff war with Washington by discouraging officials from pressuring foreign companies to hand over technology.
NPC delegates voted 2,929 to eight, with eight abstentions, in favor of the law — an unusually wide margin even for a powerless legislature that routinely endorses all ruling party policies.
"We must deeply study, and thoroughly push forward with high-quality development with a high level of openness to the outside world," said Li Zhanshu, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, after the vote.
The measure is part of an investment law that aims to address complaints by the United States, Europe and other trading partners that China's system is rigged against foreign companies despite Beijing's commitments to treat competitors equally.
The 3,000-plus delegates to the ceremonial National People's Congress rarely do lawmaking work. But their annual session, the highest-profile political event of the year, gives President Xi Jinping's government a platform to advertise changes aimed at ending a bruising battle with Washington that has disrupted trade in soybeans, medical equipment and other goods.
It was unclear whether the measure would mollify President Donald Trump, who launched the tariff war by raising U.S. duties on Chinese imports in response to complaints Beijing steals or pressure companies to hand over technology. Washington has yet to comment on the law.
The Chinese government said earlier the investment law will prohibit officials from using "administrative methods to force technology transfers." The wording of the final version of the law following amendments this week wasn't immediately released, but state media gave no indication the technology portion had changed.
Ahead of Friday's vote, foreign business groups welcomed the proposed law but said it might have been rushed through the approval too quickly. They said they will need to see how it is enforced to know whether it will improve conditions for foreign companies.
