China’s Vice Premier Liu He says China, Japan should protect free trade

BEIJING (Reuters) – China and Japan should protect free trade because protectionism is not conducive to global development, the official Xinhua news agency quoted Chinese Vice Premier Liu He on Friday as saying.

Liu was speaking during a meeting with Taro Aso, Japan’s finance minister and deputy prime minister.

“Both sides should jointly uphold the rules of free trade and the multilateral trading system as unilateralism and trade protectionism will undermine world development and the people’s interests,” Xinhua quoted Liu as saying.
