China backs suit against Obama over wind farm deal

China on Friday said it hoped the United States would "fairly" handle a lawsuit filed by a Chinese-led company against President Barack Obama over a blocked wind farm project.

Ralls Corporation, a company registered in the US and controlled by directors of an arm of Chinese engineering giant Sany, sued Obama in a US court this month for signing a September 28 order to block the project in Oregon.

It has also sued the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for barring the multi-million dollar investment over what Obama described as national security concerns.
