CHICAGO, April 7 (Xinhua) -- University of Chicago's annual China Forum was held Saturday to discuss China-U.S. economic topics.

The forum gathered speakers like Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President and CEO Charles Evans, Nobel laureate Lars Hansen and other renowned economists. This year's theme was "U.S.-China Dialogue in an Era of Transformation."

Asked about China-U.S. trade issues, Evans said that although his role as a leader in the Federal Reserve Bank is not involved in the trade issues, as an economist he thinks that "economy benefits tremendously from well-understood stable trading rules and in environments."

He said the Federal Reserve Bank has great interest in "how it plays out" if "things were to continue to evolve in an unanticipated fashion."

The Federal Reserve Bank knows that businesses have benefited tremendously in putting together supply chains, Evans said.
