China denied the cancellation of a purchase delegation to the United States, saying its trip has been "postponed" due to technical reasons, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday.

Meanwhile, answering a question about US limitation on imports of Chinese fabric products, Liu said China hoped the United States would treat China's reaction seriously, change its wrong decision and resort to solving disputes through dialogue and cooperation.

The US Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) decided Monday to request negotiations on imports from China of knit fabrics, bras, dressing gowns and robes. The US Administration announced the decision Tuesday.

That meant the US will impose limits immediately on imports of the products, trade experts says.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhou Wenzhong summoned US Ambassador to China Clark Randt on Wednesday to express concerns over the US decision.

Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Chong Quan said China is deeply regretful over and firmly opposes the US decision.

China always hopes to push forward China-US trade ties on the basis of equality, Liu said. He said the Chinese government reserves its right to take further actions.
