China has criticised a trade deal between the United Kingdom and the United States that could be used to squeeze Chinese products out of British supply chains, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Asked about the deal that was reached last week, China said it was a "basic principle" that agreements between countries should not target other nations.
"Co-operation between states should not be conducted against or to the detriment of the interests of third parties," China's foreign ministry told the FT.
