The United States will push forward exports of high-tech
products for civilian use to China, said U.S. Commerce Under
Secretary for Industry and Security Mario Mancuso here on
Wednesday.
Mancuso made the remarks one day after China and the United
States signed in Beijing the Guidelines for China-U.S. High
Technology and Strategic Trade Development.
By signing the guidelines, the two nations realized that a
creative way was needed to promote cooperation in the trade of
high-tech products for civilian use, and they needed work together
to find solutions to problems during the cooperation, he added.
China and the United States started their third Strategic
Economic Dialogue in Beijing on Wednesday, with Chinese Vice
Premier Wu Yi and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
co-chairing as special envoys of the two heads of state. The
meeting ends on Thursday.
China and the United States signed 14 agreements and memoranda,
including the one on high technology on Tuesday, before the
dialogue started.
