China maintains the trade frictions and problems between China and the U.S. should be properly handled through consultation and should not be politicized, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang on Tuesday.
Qin made the remarks when responding to a journalist’s question on the visit by three U.S. senators to China. He said bilateral trade problems should be properly handled according to the principle of common development and mutual benefit.
Qin said China believes the visit by the three U.S. senators will help increase their knowledge of the conditions of the China-U.S. relationship, conditions of bilateral economic and trade cooperation and China’s positions and measures on these respects.
