"The US
political debate over trade with China often focuses only on the problems
and
ignores the considerable benefits and opportunities being realized today by

acquires them and uses them in
its manufactures.

its
comparative advantage largely in its strong culture of innovation.
China has taken some
noteworthy steps in recent months to liberalize
capital flows, strengthen its financial system, and
move toward a market-based
exchange rate regime.
