U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again criticized Beijing's trade policies.

Trump on Friday slammed China for unfair trade practices like manipulating its currency and allegedly stealing copyrights.

While formally accepting the Republican nomination as Presidential candidate, Trump made it clear that he would take a tough stand against countries like China, which engage in unfair trade practices.

"This includes stopping China's outrageous theft of intellectual property, along with their illegal product dumping, and their devastating currency manipulation," he said. He also promised a fair trade policy that protects U.S. jobs and stands up to 'countries that cheat.'

"Our horrible trade agreements with China and many others, will be totally renegotiated. That includes renegotiating NAFTA to get a much better deal for America - and we'll walk away if we don't get the deal that we want. We are going to start building and making things again," he stated.

Trump's remarks came a day after Beijing accused the Republican Party of interfering in the domestic matters of the country. China on Thursday slammed the GOP for making 'groundless' accusations against the country on its party platform.

The U.S. party on Tuesday approved a report, which is strongly critical of China. The policy document lashed out at China' ruling Communist party for the recent crackdown on dissent and its assertive policies over Tibet and South China Sea.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lu Kang, in a statement, said that we hope relevant parties stop their groundless accusations against China and interference in China's domestic affairs and contribute more to bilateral trust and cooperation.
