"Strengthening economic and trade cooperation is a win-win
situation for both countries," Li told the delegation led by
Chamber of Commerce chief Suzanne Clark.
"Seeking decoupling and building 'small yards with high walls'
do not align with the fundamental interests of both sides," he
added.
Li said U.S. companies were welcome to continue investing in
China and that barriers were not in the fundamental interests of
both sides.
Clark is leading a delegation of former U.S. government
officials to Beijing this week, the group has said.
The visit comes as the United States and China gradually resume
engagements after the two economic superpowers' most tense
relations in years, at loggerheads over the future of
democratically ruled Taiwan, territorial claims in the South
China Sea and trade policies.
Ties are still recovering after the United States downed an
alleged Chinese spy balloon a year ago.
