     BEIJING (AFX) - China s central bank chief Zhou Xiaochuan said he expects trade friction to worsen this year.
     Speaking in an interview with the financial magazine Caijing he said the nation s trade surplus is expected to exceed last year s level of 32.1 bln usd by a wide margin.
     China s trade surplus for the first eight months already stood at 60.22 bln usd compared with a trade deficit of 950 mln usd for the same period last year.
China has been locked in a number of major trade disputes this year, most recently in the textile sector with the US and the EU.
     Zhou also said that China needs to stimulate domestic demand to help offset the effects of the big trade surplus and reduce trade friction.
      He also said that the 2.1 pct revaluation of the yuan against the dollar in July could reach its objectives though he added that it was necessary to assess what level is appropriate for the yuan.
