Special Report:Global Financial Crisis

BEIJING, Feb. 9 (Chinese media) -- China won't resort to trade protectionism with a plan similar to "Buy America" that bans foreign products in domestic stimulus projects, said a Ministry of Commerce (MOC) official here Monday.

"We won't practice 'Buy China'," said Vice Commerce Minister Jiang Zengwei at a press conference. "We'll treat domestic and foreign products equally as long as they are needed."
