国内英语新闻:China hopes not to be discriminated in U.S. reform of exports control regime

BEIJING, May 17 (Xinhua) -- China hopes the United States will not exclude China when it loosens its export restrictions, Yao Jian, a spokesman with the Ministry of Commerce said here Monday.

Yao's remarks came after the United States said over the weekend it might change its exports control regime.

The United States should treat all countries equally and not discriminate against China in its export policies, Yao said at a press conference.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in Hong Kong Sunday "concrete proposals" for changes in the exports control could be expected within the next several months.

Locke said the review will help with "the sale of highly sophisticated technology that might be embedded in some of the machines and devices like wind turbines, and the software that might operate these very sophisticated systems."
