Zhang Zhongsheng was accused of taking £120 million in bribes as deputy mayor of Luliang
China could target a broad range of USA businesses from agriculture to aircraft, autos, semiconductors and even services if the trade conflict escalates, the official China Daily newspaper said in an editorial on Thursday.
In one example cited in the report by Foreign Policy, a Chinese-Canadian billionaire was snatched from his hotel in Hong Kong in 2017 and was loaded - likely sedated - into a wheelchair and rolled out through the lobby with a sheet covering his head.
"We don't need China to buy more chips", the source said, adding that USA industry was concerned about being targeted by Chinese non-tariff barriers.
Gao Feng, spokesperson for the MOC, made the remarks in response to a question about how China would be effected by the US government plan to slap tariffs on about 50 billion USA dollars of Chinese imports and restrict Chinese investment.
China said Thursday that the USA trade approach had set a bad precedent that could trigger a domino effect on protectionism, and the United States must resort to dialogue and consultation to settle disputes.
Tension over North Korea's tests of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles surged past year and raised fears of USA military action in response to the North's threat to develop a nuclear weapon capable of hitting the United States.

Chinese soybean imports from the US could drop by as much as 71 percent if the country imposed trade restrictions, the study found.
China is still considering import curbs on U.S. soybeans in retaliation for moves by Washington to impose trade tariffs, U.S. Soybean Export Council Asia director Paul Burke said on Thursday, following a meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture.
The U.S. administration has taken an increasingly hawkish turn on China, as it blames its trade deficit with major trading partners for its domestic economic woes and job losses.
"China is always open for negotiations", Gao said, emphasizing the principles of equality, constructiveness and balance needed in joint efforts.
The tariff list is expected in the next several days.
Separately, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported on Thursday that US and Chinese officials had been holding talks to shield American soybeans and other agricultural products from trade sanctions. China is the world's biggest soybean importer and the U.S.is its second-largest supplier.
