US still presses China on piracy, trade gap
Reuters, Washington
The United States is still looking for proof that China is serious about a promised crackdown on illegal copying of billions of dollars of US goods, a top Commerce Depart-ment official said Friday."Frankly, we need to see the 'perp walks' in China," Commerce Under Secretary Grant Aldonas told reporters, referring to a US police practice of parading an arrested suspect, or perpetrator, in handcuffs before the media. "We need to see the enforcement efforts have teeth." Aldonas, who travels to China next week, said the United States also was looking for government action aimed at opening the Chinese market to more American exports.
