Introduction: according to Jerry Hagstrom, an analyst with data transmission network policy in the United States, it seems that there is an internal dispute between the U.S Department of agriculture and the Bush administration about letting China postpone or change the genetically modified regulations When President Bush visited China last week, his discussions with the Chinese leaders were clearly fruitless So should the United States continue to take the upper line and let the highest level exert pressure on China? Or a more low-key approach? This is clearly the problem When Bush left China last week, U.S Agriculture Secretary William wienemann said another U.S delegation would soon be in China But a leading agricultural lobbyist told DTN on Tuesday that the composition of the U.S delegation had not been announced and that American farmers did not want the incident to be submerged in technical negotiations because it could delay for years A lower level political delegation working with Chinese officials would be more appropriate He added that the United States would not hesitate to submit the matter to the WTO Max Baux, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, told DTN on Tuesday that he had not heard a briefing from the Bush administration on soybeans But in a speech to a trade group in Washington, Baucus said he was worried that after China's accession to the WTO, the task of rewriting laws and training officials to change attitudes was arduous, and the U.S government must pay attention to whether China abides by the WTO agreement Baux said that China has the responsibility to maintain a sustained growth and prosperity of the international trade system, but the question is whether the WTO has swallowed China or whether China has swallowed the WTO (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
