By joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, China pledged to further liberalize its trade regime and follow global trade rules. While U.S.-Chinese commercial relations have expanded, controversies have emerged, including the size and growth of the U.S. trade deficit with China, China's lack of intellectual property protection, and China's implementation of its WTO obligations. Despite these challenges, China's vast consumer and labor markets present huge opportunities for U.S. exporters and investors. GAO (1) analyzed U.S. goods and services exports to China, (2) assessed how U.S. exports to China have fared against those of other major trading partners, and (3) analyzed U.S. investment and affiliate sales in China. We provided the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, and the International Trade Commission with a draft of this report for their review and comment. These agencies chose to provide technical comments from their staff. We incorporated their suggestions as appropriate. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-162/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-162.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-162/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-162.pdf GAO-06-162 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-162 Other Written Product GAO-06-162; China Trade: U.S. Exports, Investment, Affiliate Sales Rising, but Export Share Falling; Exporting Foreign trade policies International economic relations International organizations International trade Investments abroad China
