英文: US, China agree on textile imports BEIJING, Nov. 6 -- China and the United States have reached a tentative agreement on imports of Chinese clothing and fabric, the Washinigton Post reported Saturday.
It would allow imports of most major textile and apparel products from China to increase by 8 to 10 percent in 2006, by 13 percent in 2007 and by 17 percent in 2008 -- a concession by the United States, which had proposed keeping annual growth close to 7.5 percent。
Although a few details remain to be resolved, the agreement is likely to be signed next week by U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman and Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai。
