Chamber Endorses U.S.-China Trade Talks Last Week in Beijing

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is "encouraged" by the talks in Beijing between the U.S. and China, said Myron Brilliant, senior vice president of international affairs: "We believe they provide a solid basis for the two sides to engage in the coming months and years to promote market-based economic reforms that support rebalancing, increase two-way commercial opportunities, strengthen and promote innovation, and protect and enforce intellectual property rights." He said the Chamber supports both governments re-starting negotiations on a high-standard bilateral investment treaty (BIT).
