The suggestions include removing unreasonable export restrictions on high-tech products, simplifying the examination procedure for foreign investment, advocating for fair treatment of companies from the other country, building a more open system of global trade to contain protectionism and reduce non-tariff barriers, and avoiding politicizing trade and investment.
