China said on Friday it gives equal protection to the owners of trademarks both home and abroad.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang made the remarks at a routine news briefing when responding to a question on reports that the Chinese government has approved U.S. President Donald Trump to register trademarks under his name in China's construction industry.
