SHENZHEN, China : China's commerce minister told foreign chambers of commerce that Beijing will take tougher measures to protect supply chains and businesses as the groups raised concerns over COVID-19-related disruptions at a meeting on Monday, attendees said on Tuesday.

At the meeting, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said China will increase measures to protect supply chains and promised to pass the chambers' recommendations on to the relevant government departments, Colm Rafferty, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said in a note seen by Reuters.

Steve Lynch, managing director of the British Chamber of Commerce in China, said his team raised concerns about China's diminishing attractiveness as an investment destination and a loss of international talent resulting from COVID curbs.
