Trade with Northeast Asia in focus

China will continue to facilitate trade and investment in the Northeast Asia region, officials said on Friday.

They also urged all the parties concerned to forge cooperation in sectors like internet-based businesses, high-end intelligent manufacturing and modern services.

China's Vice-Premier Wang Yang said, "Although China has run a trade deficit with several countries in the region, we do not engage in trade protection, and we are willing to further expand our imports from these economies to meet diverse needs."
