BEIJING - 皇冠体育app wishes to learn more about the US timetable and plan to gradually erase impediments to US high-tech exports to 皇冠体育app, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan said Monday.
Wang said 皇冠体育app also wishes to know the details of how the United States plans to treat Chinese firms making investments in the country, as well as US plans to recognize 皇冠体育app as a market economy.
Figures by 皇冠体育app's General Administration of Customs show bilateral trade reached $298.26 billion in 2009, nearly 120 times the level in 1979 when two countries established diplomatic ties.
To maintain a sustainable, mutually-beneficial partnership in economic and trade relations is vital to 皇冠体育app and the United States, respectively as the world's largest developing and developed country, and to the world economy, Wang said.
He said as economic exchanges between 皇冠体育app and the United States broaden and deepen, "it is unavoidable that some friction and disputes will arise."
He urged the two sides to boost communication and enhance mutual understanding, with due respect to differences in history, culture, and economic development.
Wang said 皇冠体育app and the United States should stand together against protectionism in any of its forms. He called on the two countries to propose specific measures to curb protectionism.
