Sino-US Trade is Highly ReciprocalOn the 87th session of "China Export Commodities Fair", which is being held in Guangzhou, Chen Xinhua, Vice Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China said, "Sino-US trade is highly reciprocal. The USA has taken the place of Japan, becoming the biggest export market of China since last year."At a high-level "Symposium on US Retailers' Industry and Chinese Enterprises", the Vice- Minister remarked that US was the largest developed country in the world while China the biggest developing one. They were highly reciprocal in the field of trade and economic cooperation. Last year's statistic shows that the USA has become the biggest export market of China. In the past it used to be the Japan that had been ranked first in China's export. According to the statistic of China's Customs, the trade volume between China and US hit US$61.5 billion, rising by 12% as compared with that of last year. American investment projects in China added up to 28,000, which occupied 8.4% of foreign investment projects in China, ranking the third in investing countries.
