Hu Jintao Trade Quotations

We should vigorously promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation on the basis of mutual trust, further reduce restrictions on export of technologies, and remove trade barriers, so as to create a fair, just, reasonable and open environment for trade,

The strategic partnership between China and the European Union is of immense importance, not just in terms of trade and the economy, but also in terms of our cooperation in all the major political issues the world faces,

There's no denial that our bilateral trade has developed so fast and to such a large scale it is inevitable that we may have some friction,

Hence, to jointly promote balanced and orderly development of the world economy, all countries, major economies in particular, should not only adopt responsible economic policies to introduce necessary economic restructuring, keep major currencies reasonably stable and prevent trade protectionism, but also intensify dialogues on macro-economic policies and, most importantly, coordination on major issues that bear on the overall development of the world economy and the common interest of all countries,

What I would like to stress here is that China does not pursue a huge trade surplus in trade with the United States,

The two sides have expressed the readiness to gradually realize trade balance through joint efforts in the process of development,

The global problem of uneven development is increasingly salient as the gap between the North and South is further widening. There are financial turbulence from time to time and new manifestations of trade barriers and protectionism. We must strengthen international cooperation to seize opportunities and meet challenges together so as to promote balanced and orderly development of the world economy.

We're willing to work with the United States to take effective measures to increase China's imports from the United States and work hard to gradually address the trading balances in the two-way trade in the further expansion of our trading ties and economic cooperation,

The frictions and problems that may arise in this rapid development of two-way trade may be properly addressed through consultations,

Bilateral trade might double to over 300 billion US dollars in 2010, ... nothing can stop the trend of economic integration and trade development.

China is ready to expand economic and trade cooperation with Kenya and actively implement the cooperative projects agreed by the two sides in the areas of transportation, telecommunication, electric power, and infrastructure construction,
