dialogue will be co-chaired by Vice Premier Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang
Jiechi, who will be acting as special representatives of Xi, as well as US
Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who will be
acting as special representatives of Obama.
Delegates
from more than 20 Chinese government departments will attend the dialogue,
according to Zheng.
In the
S&ED, both sides will hold talks on expanding bilateral trade and
investment cooperation, Zhu said, adding that China hopes the US will provide a
fair and transparent environment for Chinese investment.
China also
hopes the US will take substantial actions to lift the ban on the exportation
of hi-tech products to China as well as recognize China's market economy status
as soon as possible, according to Zhu.
