The anti-dumping measures taken by the United States against Chinese televisions and furniture are not conducive to bilateral economic and trade relations.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue made this remark Tuesday at the routine news briefing, adding that the Chinese side, attaching much importance to sound and normal economic and trade relations with the US side, hoped that the governments of both countries could make efforts to push forward the bilateral ties.

She said US Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and Secretary of Commerce Donald L. Evans, and would visit China this week and the Chinese leaders would have an exchange of views with them on certain issues during their meetings.

China hopes that the issues emerging in the bilateral trade relations could be resolved through negotiations, not abuse of anti-dumping measures based on trade protectionism, the spokeswoman said.
