When asked to comment on a senior South Korean trade official's remark today that the US had demanded South Korea adopt measures restricting China during trade negotiations, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Friday that China has always supported all parties in properly addressing trade relations and issues through dialogue and consultation. 

"However, no agreements or negotiations should come at the expense of third parties' interests," Mao told a regular press conference.
