Résumé

Economic and trade reforms in 1979 have helped transform China into one of the world's fastest growing economies. China's economic growth and trade liberalization, including trade involvements made upon entering the World Trade Organization in 2001, have led to an astute expansion in United States-China economic links. In 1978, China was the thirty-second largest American export market and its fifty-seventh largest source of its imports. In 2006, China ranked as the fourth largest export market and its second largest source of imports. In recent years, China has been the fastest growing American export market and the importance of this market is expected to grow even further as living standards continue to improve in China and a sizable middle class emerges.

Yet, bilateral trade relations have grown more and more strained in recent years over a number of issues, including a large and growing Unites States trade deficit with China: $233 billion in 2006. Moreover, China's refusal to adopt a floating currency and failure to sufficiently implement its World Trade Organization obligations, especially in regards to intellectual property rights protection.
