Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Tuesday that the United States should relax export control on high-tech products to China so as to redress the trade imbalance between the two countries.

"Joint efforts are needed to enhance China-U.S. trade cooperation and we hope the U.S. make positive and constructive efforts on the trade imbalance, including relaxing control of high-tech products export to China," Qin said.

"If the United States wants to redress the trade imbalance, it should take concrete actions on high-tech products export," he added.

According to the new U.S. regulations, the United States will tighten control on military-use high-tech exports but will loosen control to certain "trusted customers" in China.
