China aims to open up procurement market

China continues to revise its offers to join a global pact on government purchases with its bid to further open the government market as well as push more Chinese companies to go global.

On Jan 6, China submitted a new revised Government Procurement Agreement offer - its fourth since it tabled its initial offer in 2007 - to the World Trade Organization, according to 21cbn.com.

The details of the commitment have not been disclosed. China is still awaiting a response from current Government Procurement Agreement parties.
