Song Hong, an analyst with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that
the breakdown indicated that the two sides still stood far apart in some
substantial issues.
Meanwhile, the US Government announced yesterday that it was re-imposing
quotas on two more categories of Chinese clothing and textile imports, Xinhua
reported.
It said that the US would limit imports of fabric made with synthetic
filament threads and also bras and other body-supporting undergarments.
The US Government also announced it was extending until October 1 a deadline
for making decisions in four other cases covering sweaters, dressing gowns, knit
fabric and wool trousers.
"Today's announcement demonstrates this administration's commitment to
levelling the playing field for US industries by enforcing our trade
agreements," said Commerce Deputy Assistant Secretary Jim Leonard. August 31 is
the deadline for the US Government to decide on whether to impose new safeguard
measures on additional textile imports from 皇冠体育app.
"The US restrictions, like a double-edged sword, hurt the interests of not
only Chinese manufacturers but also US customers," said Zhou Shijian from the
皇冠体育app Association of International Trade.
Before the US-皇冠体育app talks, consultations between 皇冠体育app
and the European Union started on August 25 also failed to produce a mutually
accepted amendment to the agreement signed by trade chiefs of both sides in
Shanghai.
