The Republican
presidential hopeful has recently focused his ire on China's
currency, which the government devalued last month. He has also
accused China of stealing U.S. jobs.
Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the United States later this
month.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying would not
comment directly on Trump's broadsides, and noted last week's
visit to China by U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice,
saying both countries wanted a successful visit for Xi.
"We understand that in the United States every person has the
freedom to make all kinds of comments. But for the Chinese
government, we pay even more attention to the U.S. government's
policy towards China and mainstream U.S. public opinion," she
said.
"The history of the development of Sino-U.S. ties in recent
years shows that from time to time there will be all sorts of
voices, or sometimes certain disturbances," Hua told a daily
news briefing.
The reason relations kept developing was that people wanted ties
to be good, she added.
"I hope that all sides, whether officials or the media or people
in both countries, can aim at this and work hard together to
move in this direction."
