China central bank says will play active role in responding to trade frictions

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank said on Monday it will play a "proactive role" in responding to trade frictions with the United States.

"At present, we must pay special attention to risks imported externally," the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a statement following a meeting of its Communist Party Committee.

"We must prevent external shocks, market fluctuations and market contagion," it said, vowing to "resolutely" fend off systemic financial risks.
