Foreign minister: China exports helping US

China's exports to the US is beneficial to the United States, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said Tuesday.

Trade with China has helped create between 4 million and 8 million jobs in the U.S., Li told reporters in an annual news conference on the sidelines of China's parliamentary session.

Inexpensive products made in China benefit U.S. consumers, and help keep inflation in check, he added.

"Perhaps you know that many of the man-made Christmas trees used by American families are made in China. This helps conserve the U.S. environment," Li quipped.

China's trade surplus with the US surged to an allegedly record high US$201.6 billion last year, increasing pressure on the Bush administration from lawmakers who want to see a crackdown on what they believe are unfair trading practices by China.

China put the surplus figure at US$114.2 billion and contended that a large part of the exports came from multinational corporations operating in China.

Li pledged to cut the bilateral trade surplus, while urging the US to do their part in this regard.

"China is by no means pursuing a trade surplus," Li said. "We are very willing to do what we can to address this problem of the trade imbalance."

Li urged Washington not to risk marring ties by yielding to pressure for sanctions.

And he reiterated Beijing's calls for the U.S. side to lift export restrictions on high-tech products, saying those limits were a key reason behind the continued trade imbalance.

"The reasons for the trade surplus are very complex," Li said, noting that China's purchases of Boeing Co. aircraft, soybeans and cotton have helped make the country America's biggest export market for many products.

"It seems they only want to sell soybeans, cotton, wine from California and citrus from Florida," Li said. "Apart from those items it seems they would not like to sell to China because they will call those products 'high tech,' or 'dual use.'"

Li said the distinction between "civilian" and "military" use items was lost on him. Holding up a cup of tea, he said that if he drank it, it would be considered civilian.

"But if a soldier drinks this tea it would become for military use," he said.

"What we should do is refrain from politicizing all these issues," Li said.
