Chinese shoppers walk past a foreign fashion boutique in Beijing Wednesday. The European Union’s top diplomat in Beijing appealed to the Chinese government to avoid excluding foreign-owned companies from stimulus projects, after Beijing announced a provision last month requiring stimulus projects to use domestically made goods. Chinese trade officials said that is not meant to exclude foreign-owned suppliers, but business groups say foreign companies have been shut out of projects.
