China has urged the United States to "immediately correct its erroneous ways" after Washington launched new trade probes targeting 60 economies, including China, over alleged failures to curb forced labor and issues of excess industrial capacity.

• China has "lodged representations" with the US over the forced labor trade probes.
• Key organizations involved are the US government and China's Commerce Ministry.
• The investigations come as trade officials from both countries met in Paris on Sunday, with US President Trump planning a visit to China later this month.
