The Bush administration told China on Thursday that it will be looking for concrete actions to lower trade tensions between the two nations in advance of a U.S. visit next month by Chinese President Hu Jintao.
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, who will hold talks with Chinese officials next week in Beijing, said his message would be that the administration was looking for China to play a responsible role in the global trading community.
“This is a time for results,” Gutierrez said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We will be very candid about our expectations and about where we believe that action needs to take place in order for China to achieve that role as a responsible stakeholder” in the global economy.
