In recognition of the importance and complexity of the US-China economic relationship, in September 2006 President George W. Bush and President Hu Jintao created the “Strategic Economic Dialogue” between our countries. Their intent was not to replace the many economic dialogues already taking place, but to create a senior-level forum that was both comprehensive and strategic. A forum that would also build trust on both sides by demonstrating progress on the immediate issues we face.
