Beijing, May 23, 2010, SPA -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday that she would be pushing the Chinese for a «more balanced economic relationship» with the U.S. in upcoming economic and strategic talks in Beijing. Those talks will be co-chaired by Hillary Clinton and U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. «For trade to work in any economy and for it to produce the benefits we know it can, there must be a level playing field where domestic and international companies can compete freely and openly,» she told workers at a Boeing maintenance facility at Shanghai's Pudong Airport. Clinton said she, Geithner and the U.S. delegation would press the Chinese for greater regulatory transparency, nondiscrimination, fair access to markets and strong enforcement of intellectual property rights, according to a report of the Associated Press. Geithner and Clinton are leading a delegation of nearly 200 officials to Beijing as part of an effort to help President Barack Obama deliver on his pledge to double U.S. exports within five years and create 2 million jobs. --SPA 14:40 LOCAL TIME 11:40 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/784095
