Levin today an- nounced the Trade Subcommittee will hold the first in a series of hearings on the U.S.-China trade relationship. The hearing will take place on Thursday, Feb- ruary 15, in the main Committee hearing room, 1100 Longworth House Of- fice Building, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Oral testimony at this hearing will be heard from both invited and public wit- nesses. Witnesses are expected to include a representative from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. However, any individual or organization not scheduled for an oral appearance may submit a written statement for consideration by the Subcommittee or for inclusion in the printed record of the hearing. FOCUS OF THE HEARING: This hearing is the first in a series on U.S.-China economic and trade relations. The hearings will focus on the impact of U.S.-China trade on jobs, wages, prices, manufacturing competitiveness, and other aspects of the U.S. economy; the causes of the U.S. trade deficit with China; China’s compliance with its WTO commitments; and China’s role in the world economy. This hearing will be divided into two panels. The first panel will focus on the role and effect of subsidies in the Chinese market and their impact on competition with U.S. products in China. The other panel will focus on China’s enforcement of intellectual property rights. BACKGROUND: Trade flows between the United States and China are substantial and growing. U.S. exports to China in the first 11 months of 2006 were more than $50 billion, up from $42 billion in all of 2005, and up from just $19 billion in 2001, the year China acceded to the World Trade Organization. Notwithstanding this substantial growth in U.S. exports, the U.S. goods trade deficit with China in 2006 is expected to approach one-quarter of a trillion dollars—the largest trade deficit in U.S. his- tory. China accounts for roughly 12 percent of total U.S. trade and one-third of the total U.S. goods trade deficit with the world. At the same time, U.S. imports from other East Asian countries have fallen $10 billion between 2001 and 2005. The United States had a services trade surplus with China of $2.6 billion in 2005. It is widely recognized that China has a large number of subsidy programs that distort the Chinese market and trade with the United States. In 2006, China sub- mitted a long-overdue subsidies notification to the World Trade Organization. China identified over 70 subsidy programs (including some subsidies that appear to be pro- hibited under WTO rules),

  • Business North Carolina's Third Power 100 List of the State's Most
    elcome to BUSINESS NORTH CAROLINA’s third Power 100 list of the state’s most influential business leaders. This year’s report features stories and interviews Wwith 27 people including the state’s most powerful pork producer, the owner of the nation’s biggest furniture store, and the banker charged with reversing Wells Fargo’s deteriorating customer-service reputation. North Carolina’s rapid growth as a major business center makes selecting the list more interesting — and difficult — each year. There are more powerful people than ever before. After taking suggestions from all corners and quizzing dozens of people for ideas, the edito- rial team settles on the names. We look for leaders who are representative of some broad categories of power: ■ Institutional powerhouses, such as university presidents Vincent Price and Jose Sartarelli and hospital bosses Michael Waldrum and Julie Ann Freischlag. ■ Middle-of-the-action folks, creating a lot of activity and, sometimes, making a lot of money. Drug-discovery investor Fred Eshelman and venture capitalist David Gardner are examples. ■ Outstanding entrepreneurs, including lending genius Doug Lebda and video-game superstar Tim Sweeney. ■ Networking powerhouses, such as lawyer Rob Harrington and banker Jim Hansen. ■ Pillars of commerce, such as software icon Jim Goodnight, auto dealer Don Flow and bank investor Chip Mahan. ■ Public company CEOs including Susan DeVore, Lynn Good and Kelly King. ■ Real estate kingpins including Andy Andrews and Roy Carroll. ■ Singular talents who make major waves in their spheres. Examples this year include restaurateur Ashley Christensen and hip-hop star J. Cole. ■ Thought leaders, including marketing experts such as Peggy Brookhouse and David Mullen.
