Trade friction to harm both sides

Uneasy situation likely to see China seeking other markets for the country's imports

The impact of ongoing trade friction will not only keep Chinese investors away from the United States, but also lead to a shrinking share in the huge Chinese market for US firms, experts warned on Thursday.

They forecast that the uneasy situation will force China to import more products such as automobiles, passenger aircraft, natural gas, crude oil, cotton and medicines from other nations.
