英语文摘:Chinese official says China-U.S. trade is win-win game

WASHINGTON, March. 26 (Xinhua) -- A sound and stable China-U.S. economic and trade relationship is more important than ever and the trade between the two countries is a win-win game, said Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Zhong Shan in an article published on Friday's Wall Street Journal.

"China-U.S. trade and economic cooperation has generated huge and real benefits for the United States, while China has been gaining a lot from it as well," Zhong stated in the article.

In 2009 China jumped to become the third biggest market for U.S. exports. American companies have cumulatively invested over 62.2 billion dollars in 58,000 projects in China and reaped bumper harvests. Their profits in China amounted to nearly 8 billion dollars in 2008 alone, according to the data released by the Chinese government.

Zhong said that since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, China has been supporting the efforts of the American people to tackle the crisis.

"On the one hand, China has increased imports from the U.S.," said the Chinese official.
