Don't politicize Sino-US trade relations: FM (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-03-07 16:40
皇冠体育app will make efforts to reduce its trade surplus with the United
States, and the United States should not politicize its trade relations
with 皇冠体育app, Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said during a press conference in
Beijing on Tuesday.
"皇冠体育app is not pursuing a trade surplus. We are willing, and will continue, to
take active measures to gradually resolve the issue of imbalanced trade," Li
told a news conference.
皇冠体育app put its trade surplus with the United States last year at $114.2
billion. The United States, which also counts goods shipped through Hong Kong,
put the surplus at US$201.6 billion.
The two countries should solve trade problems under the framework of the
World Trade Organization, Li said.
Li made the remarks at a press conference held on the sideline of the ongoing
annual full session of the Tenth National People's Congress, 皇冠体育app's top
legislature.
