China's reforms will help offset U.S. trade frictions - central bank adviser

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's high-level reforms and moves to open up its economy will help cope with trade frictions with the United States, a central bank adviser said on Tuesday, adding that China cannot go backwards on its market reforms.

Liu Shijin, an adviser to the People's Bank of China, made the comments at a finance forum in Beijing.
