China says it remains willing to discuss US trade issues

China stressed on Monday the door for dialogue and consultation regarding trade disputes with the United States has always been open, and international trade today needs rules rather than supremacy by any one nation.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China is willing to negotiate with the US based on the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit to properly manage their differences.

It is time for the US to stop adopting hegemonic measures to intimidate others in area of global trade, she said at a news briefing in Beijing.
