China and the United States kicked off their sixth round of textile talks Wednesday morning in Beijing.

The two sides failed to reach any agreement in the last five rounds of talks.

David Spooner, special negotiator for textile at the US Trade Representative's Office, continued to be head of the US side, while the Chinese side was led by Lu Jianhua, director of foreign trade department under the Ministry of Commerce.

The two-day close-door meeting will be held at the main building of the Ministry of Commerce in Beijing.

Since global quotas were scrapped on Jan. 1, the U.S. has set limits on nine categories of textile products imported from China, saying that the surge of textile products imported from China disturbed US market.
