		Charlene Barshefsky: Well, at its most basic level, of course, the United States is interested in China, for its economy and the importance of trade to the United States.
		Charlene Barshefsky: I think we don't know what the new contract is. Certainly the Chinese leadership looks on its relationship with the people as one where providing economic growth is the foundation, one where modernization is key to raised living standards.
		Charlene Barshefsky: Absolutely, which is why the United States has always insisted on a peaceful resolution of the discussions between Taiwan and China with respect to Taiwan's position and the One China policy.

		Charlene Barshefsky: Not at all and here's why: Under WTO rules, as in every accession, at the end of the day, everyone who negotiates with the acceding country puts their deal into the WTO secretariat.
		Charlene Barshefsky: The way the composite deal is put together, is to take the best of what any single country got, and apply that to the world.
		Charlene Barshefsky: You know, I probably am not fully competent to answer the question because I think one of the things the Asian financial crisis shows is that you can't always predict the way investors will act, and you can't always assume that there is a rational investor that's out there, one way or another.

		BARSHEFSKY: You know, if you look at the Asian tiger, southeast Asian tigers, they very actively liberalized on a unilateral basis, largely on the basis of economic theory and a kind of technocratic bent among people in policy positions at the time of the liberalization.
		BARSHEFSKY: I think Mexico squandered the gains of NAFTA initially— by not investing in infrastructure, which is what has really left it, I think, most vulnerable to China and the loss of manufacturing in Mexico to China.

		CHARLENE BARSHEFSKY, U.S. Trade Representative: I think there were a variety of factors at play but first let’s remember what he did muster: a majority of Democrats in the Senate, a majority of Republicans in the Senate, a majority of Republicans in the House, and a good number of Democrats in the House.

	Center for Business and Government
		Ambassador Barshefsky’s talk reaffirmed to our students the importance of the partnership between business and government that will be required to make transition to markets successful in Vietnam, said Jackson. This is particularly true with regard to opening up Vietnam to the Internet and deregulation of the telecom sector.
		Barshefsky noted that the trade agreement, will promote technological progress and economic efficiency throughout the Vietnamese economy by liberalizing services industries. A more open telecommunications market will give Vietnamese families, schools and businesses cheaper phone rates and easier access to the Internet.
		Ambassador Barshefsky has been at the center of these discussions for the past eight years. There is probably no one better qualified to give our students a global perspective on trade and its direction.

		I'm sure the next 24 hours will be much of the final, difficult work that Charlene and her team will have to go through in coming to a conclusion on what we hope will be a successful launch.
		But you know, it really was, again, an issue of courtesy, and with the balance, it might be nice to have a few leaders versus the physical logjams we might cause in Seattle and the problems of offending heads of state that you didn't invite, et cetera -- not exciting stuff.

		BARSHEFSKY: No. China's admission will be governed by what it has always been governed by, and that is the substance of the commitments it is willing to undertake.
		BARSHEFSKY: I think that there is quite a bit, actually, of international agreement with the contours of the U.S. agenda.
