Mute core technology transfer calls for consensus between China and s&ed

"Many U.S. clean-energy companies are trying to get into the Chinese market, and I want to ask, how are you going to support US companies expanding the Chinese market?"　　"This is the problem of American entrepreneurs throwing their Business secretary Gary Locke."　　On the morning of July 17 at a breakfast meeting at the Portman Hotel in Shanghai, Mr. Locke was no longer a Chinese government official, but a head of nearly 200 U.S. companies in China. After breakfast with entrepreneurs, "clean energy" is again the keynote of Gary Locke's speech.　　Gary Locke once again insisted on the U.S. stance on market access, "carbon tariffs" and other differences between China and the United States. "Freer market access and stronger intellectual property protection are key to clean energy cooperation between China and the United States." Gary Locke made a commitment to all the American business representatives present. "Not only in the clean energy sector, but in finance, services and other industries, I will help American companies operate in the Chinese market easier."　　At the end of the event, Locke said that clean energy cooperation and climate change in China and the United States will be the main issues of the first round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (s&ed) to be held in Washington at the end of this month.　　The latest divergence in energy between China and the US is the "carbon tariffs" proposed by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, but the two ministers of Gary Locke and Steven Chu did not mention the issue in the course of China's previous trip. Never The so-called "carbon tariff" refers to the imposition of special carbon dioxide tariffs on imports of high energy-consuming products. Shortly after his inauguration, Chu said publicly that if other countries did not impose mandatory emissions cuts, the US would impose "carbon tariffs" on imports from those countries, helping to avoid unfair competition for U.S. manufacturing. The U.S. House of Representatives "Clean Energy Security Act" has passed a "carbon tariff" provisions.　　This serious violation of WTO principles has been resolutely opposed by the Chinese side.　　When an American entrepreneur presented the Chinese government's objections to the "carbon tariffs", Locke said it was not the best time to discuss specific provisions such as "carbon tariffs", given the Senate's failure to pass the U.S. Clean Energy Security Act. But at the same time, Locke stressed: "American consumers enjoy the convenience of cheap goods from other countries." But if these cheap goods come from high energy consumption and high emissions, American consumers should be aware of their responsibilities. "Similar to Beijing's trip, Gary Locke's" trip to Shanghai "repeatedly stressed that" the United States advanced technology applied to the Chinese market, can help China and the US achieve a win. " "Even after the groundbreaking ceremony at the United States pavilion at the World Expo, Gary Locke kept the two in close contact. "The US pavilion will provide a platform for the United States to showcase its technological innovations, especially clean energy technologies." And clean energy is also in line with the Shanghai World Expo theme ' City makes life better '.　　"But the technology of" solar, wind and biofuels ", as Gary Locke mentioned in his speech, is not the core technology that can push China's technology significantly higher.Although Gary Locke repeated the United States position in his speech, at the end of the event, Gary Locke, in response to this reporter's question, still stressed: "China-US bilateral relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world today." The two great nations of China and the United States should engage in dialogue and consensus on more issues.　　"In his view, the transition from the past strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) to the Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue (s&ed) is the best evidence. Zhang Jianxin, an associate professor at the School of International Relations and public affairs at Fudan University, said in an interview with the reporter that Gary Locke vigorously promoted trade with China as governor of Washington.　　His position as commerce minister has already reflected the Obama administration's approach to China's trade policy. "But there is a business in the US that supports free trade and blue-collar workers against free trade with China." Especially in the United States, such as steel, textile and other sunset industries, does not exclude the United States to China's products continue to impose restrictions.　　"Zhang Jianxin said.
