《商務(wù)導(dǎo)讀》今天為大家推薦的是一篇來自“美聯(lián)社”關(guān)于“中國商務(wù)部抵美進(jìn)行瘋狂采購”的報道：以中國商務(wù)部副部長馬秀紅為團(tuán)長的商務(wù)采購團(tuán)已抵達(dá)舊金山，出席中美項目簽約儀式暨中美高科技合作論壇。
除舊金山外，代表團(tuán)還計劃訪問亞特蘭大、芝加哥和首都華盛頓等城市，與美方談判多項總值超過160億美元的合作協(xié)議，以示中方幫助美國減少貿(mào)易逆差的誠意。
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A delegation of Chinese business leaders on Wednesday committed ( v. 提交, 答應(yīng)負(fù)責(zé)) to buying $4.3 billion in U.S. technology, hoping to soften a political backlash (n. 后座, 后沖) to the massive trade imbalance dividing two of the world's economic powers.
The agreements were trumpeted at a ceremony staged two weeks before the scheduled start of government talks in Washington, where leaders will try to tackle the United States' $232 billion trade deficit with China and other prickly issues.
California Lt. Gov. John Garamendi hailed (v. 招呼、致敬) 27 contracts signed Wednesday as an "important step in furthering the deep relationship between this state, this country and China."
But the event's timing spurred immediate skepticism (n. 懷疑論) about the sincerity of China's efforts to narrow a trade gap that has tormented the United States for years.
"They are not going to change their ways. This is all part of a political smoke screen," said Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland and the former chief economist for the U.S. International Trade Commission.
To underscore China's resolve to explore more U.S. investments, executives from more than 200 Chinese companies are meeting with their U.S. counterparts in 24 cities scattered across 23 states, said Ma Xiuhong, vice minister of China's Ministry of Commerce.
In its first stop, just north of Silicon Valley's high-tech heartland, the Chinese coalition primarily sealed deals with computer software, semiconductor and telecommunications companies. The U.S. beneficiaries included several of the world's largest technology companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard
