U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Visits China
From May 15 to May 25, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke headed a trade mission to China and Indonesia. 24 U.S. companies joined Secretary Locke in China. The goal of the visit is to promote exports of leading U.S. technologies related to clean energy, energy efficiency, and electric energy storage, transmission and distribution. In Shanghai, Secretary Locke expressed the hope that a clean energy partnership will help both countries’ work force. Challenges exist in fair cooperation, the U.S. export license policy and the Chinese innovation accreditation system. Secretary Locke also delivered speech at Tsinghua University, stating that the U.S. and China should be leaders in the $6 trillion clean energy market. Secretary Locke informed the audience that some restrictions make little sense; therefore, the U.S. government is looking to revise its export control policies, which may encourage the sale of more high technology goods in China.
