The Bush administration on Sunday promoted a sweeping plan to overhaul China’s financial markets and open the country to foreign banks, investment firms and insurance companies.
Chinese officials offered virtually no public reaction on the U.S. agenda. In a brief news conference at the end of a meeting of finance ministers from 20 nations, Finance Minister Jin Renqing took a handful of innocuous questions from Chinese reporters and then called an end to the proceedings.
