That is why the president rejects economic isolationism and why this administration is continuing to aggressively engage with China.

布什總統相信，開放的市場和公平的競爭環境對創造就業機會和經濟增長極其重要。這就是為什么布什總統反對經濟孤立主義以及本屆政府積極保持與中國接觸的原因。上星期，我率領美國總統出口委員會成員與勞工部長趙小蘭一起出訪中國，爭取促進經濟交往，擴大美國對中國的出口，并提出與貿易有關的關注。
China is America's fastest-growing export market and our third-largest trading partner. Two-way trade exceeds $190 billion and over the last three years American exports to China increased 76%.
