BEIJING - Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Chen Jian said Monday the allegation that 皇冠体育app's State-owned enterprises "going global" had received subsidies from the government is "entirely groundless".
He also said Chinese enterprises paid $10.6 billion in taxes and employed 438,000 local people overseas in 2009.
Appreciation of 皇冠体育app's currency, the renminbi (RMB), also known as yuan, is beneficial to Chinese enterprises when investing overseas, but will negatively affect the country's export, according to Chen.
