Ron Kirk: “We have urged China in every fora, bilaterally, through the G-20 and others, to allow their currency to float to market…”

By extending PNTR we can create new markets for our people and support the political and economic changes that the Russian people are seeking.

Our ambition, at least among the nine countries that initially decided to go down this road together, was let us not wait on what is going to happen in Doha or APEC; let us try and develop a new trade model for the twenty-first century…

We must push China on every front, and the Administration must ensure that China's commitments are fully implemented.

I think if there is any area that the administration has distinguished ourselves in, it is at our very strong elevation of trade enforcement to the same level that we have for opening up new markets.
