US To Urge China To Ensure Equitable Rules

US Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithener, said that he would push China to ensure a level playing field for American companies. Geithner said, “Our agenda in Beijing will focus on reducing the challenges faced by American companies trying to export to China and to produce in China.” He added, “American companies are very concerned that this approach has the potential to discriminate against foreign-made products and could disadvantage American exporters and investors as they compete with Chinese firms,” Geithener and US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, will meet with their Chinese counterparts on May 24-25.
