Beijing hopes Washington can set a timetable to end its restrictions on high-tech exports to China, Vice Premier Wang Qishan said in a speech at the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing on Monday.

"We are glad to see that the US has promised to ease its export restrictions on high-tech products and open up the American market for Chinese investors," said Wang, who is also a special representative of Chinese President Hu Jintao at the annual dialogue.
