Market Status Denied

Guess who said about whom:

"that companies suffer from too much state interference, have weak corporate governance measures, do not ensure equal treatment of all companies in bankruptcy procedures and that its banking sector is not governed by market rules"

The US about Europe?

Wrong

EU denies China market economy status

Brussels said that Chinese companies suffer from too much state interference, have weak corporate governance measures, do not ensure equal treatment of all companies in bankruptcy procedures and that its banking sector is not governed by market rules.
