Chinese State-owned enterprises are willing to see fewer trade frictions, and SOEs will follow market rules to better promote trade globalization and opening-up and co-operation, said Xiao Yaqing, head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
A better trade environment between China and the United States is expected, so that enterprises can operate better and develop better. This is the hope of both China's SOEs and overseas enterprises, Xiao said.
