The Greek government last year had shortlisted China's Cosco Group as a potential buyer of a 67 percent stake in Piraeus Port Authority.
But Greece stopped the sale this week, saying it would be put on hold as newly elected Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras halted privatization plans agreed under Greece's bailout deal.
“We are paying a great deal of attention,” Shen Danyang, the spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce, said when asked about the suspended deal.
“We urge the Greek government to protect the legitimate interests of Chinese companies in Greece, including those of Cosco,” he said.
Greece's reversal of the privatization deals struck under its bailout has pummeled its financial markets, with Greek bank stocks plunging more than 26 percent on Wednesday.
