Hu calls for closer ties in U.S. visit

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Chinese President Hu Jintao called April 19 for fewer trade barriers and closer ties between his country and the United States.

The speech followed a warm welcome at Boeing Co., where Hu tried to soothe tensions over the $202 billion (¥23.7 trillion) U.S.-China trade deficit, telling workers his country would need thousands of new airplanes in the coming years.

Speaking to an audience including Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates, Hu said his country does not seek a big trade surplus with the United States. He also reaffirmed his government's commitment to cracking down on software piracy, which should increase Microsoft's sales in China.

China's rapid growth and development will increase demand for American products and expertise in areas such as technology, Hu said, and "I hope the American businesses will seize the opportunities."

The comments came ahead of a summit with President George W. Bush, where the two sides plan to tackle thorny issues, from China's much-criticized currency and other trade policies, to its aggressive search for oil and its positions on the developing nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea.
