US, China top-level trade talks tomorrow

---

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Internet): The United States and China hold cabinet-level trade talks in California Tuesday amid tensions over China's massive export surplus and worries about the slowing global economy.
The talks come in the sunset of George W Bush's Republican presidency that has seen trade disputes with China over a host of issues, ranging from copyright infringement, automobile parts and investment barriers to toxic toys and pet food.
The latest attempt to get the World Trade Organisation's Doha round of negotiations off the ground foundered in July, leaving the world's largest economy and Asia's superpower squared off in their corners.
