NEW YORK: US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson looked ahead to the SED (strategic economic dialog) in December and outlined his and the Bush administration's collective views on the state of China-US relations as he addressed business leaders and media at the opening of the fourth Annual China Institute Executive Summit. He wants to see swift action (reforms) from China on the economic front and as a self-proclaimed 'optimist' Paulson believes the two countries will make progress at the table together next month.
