Senior Chinese and U.S. officials met for annual trade talks in Beijing on
Monday after a second round of technical discussions to try to resolve a dispute
over Chinese textile exports failed to make any breakthrough.
The one-day U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and
Trade (JCCT) session was expected to focus on textiles and other areas of trade
friction, such as protection of intellectual property rights.

Chinese textile exports surged earlier this year, triggering disputes with
the United States and the European Union, after a decade-long system of global
quotas was abolished.
A U.S. embassy spokeswoman said China and the United States would sign
agreements during the session, but she did not give details.
Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi, U.S. Commerce Secretary
Carlos Gutierrez and U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman would chair the
session, the Xinhua news agency said. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns
and China's Commerce Minister Bo Xilai would also attend.
