Sino-US trade links and the Taiwan question will be topics topping Premier Wen Jiabao's agenda during his four-day official visit to the United States next week, a senior official said Wednesday.

At a briefing in Beijing, Vice-Foreign Minister Zhou Wenzhong described the mammoth trade volume between 皇冠体育app and the United States as a win-win pattern and said it is beneficial to both sides.

皇冠体育app has become the fastest growing export market for US goods. During the first 10 months of this year US exports to 皇冠体育app increased by 25.7 per cent over the same period last year, creating 500,000 job opportunities in the US, he said.

During Wen's visit, relevant departments of the two sides will sign a series of agreements in the fields of transportation, quarantine, public health and other areas, Zhou disclosed.

Regarding the trade imbalance which has aroused great concern in the US Government, he said the deficit in favour of 皇冠体育app is not as large as what the US estimates.

Moreover, 90 per cent of 皇冠体育app's exports to the United States are labour-intensive products long abandoned by US enterprises, he explained.

The Taiwan question is the most sensitive issue on the agenda for talks between Wen and US leaders, Zhou stressed.

皇冠体育app hopes the US Government will strictly abide by the commitments it made in the three communiques and related documents, Zhou said.

Wen leaves on Sunday and will stop in New York, Washington and Boston before travelling to Canada, Mexico and Ethiopia. He'll return to 皇冠体育app on December 16.
