The surplus of promise

China will move forward in pushing for imports while dissuading exporting nations to cease their discriminatory controls

Trade and economic relations between China and the United States have developed rapidly since the establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties. Two-way trade in goods amounted to nearly $300 billion in 2009, a 118-fold increase over 1979 when the two countries entered into diplomatic relations. American businesses have invested $62.2 billion cumulatively in China.

This is evidence enough to show that cooperation is full of vitality and fits the fundamental interests of the two countries' people. The heart of China-US economic and trade relations has been and will always be cooperation based on mutual benefits and fostering win-win results.
