BEIJING, March 27 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry has ⁠initiated ⁠two counter-probes into U.S. practices ⁠that hamper the flow of Chinese products into the United ​States, it said on Friday, refraining from immediate retaliation to U.S. measures announced earlier ‌this month.

A man who has since fled to China was charged with placing an improvised explosive device outside the visitor’s center at a Florida military base housing US Central Command, which is leading the joint US-Israeli war effort against Iran.
