CHINA PRESS: China would start a new round of "opening to the world," as

indicated by the government's declarations that it would expand imports, the

21st Century Business Herald reported Monday. China is making efforts to adjust

its import structure to encourage imports of advanced technological equipment

and key components of products, stabilize resources imports, and, to some

extent, increase imports of consumption products, the newspaper said citing Bai

Ming, deputy head of the International Market Research Department at the

Ministry of Commerce. Heretofore, China's imports have been mainly bulk

commodities such as iron ore, crude oil and coal, which expose Chinese growth to

a excessive reliance on the international market, the newspaper noted. To

increase consumption product imports,  China is working to speed up the signing

of agreements to inspect and quarantine fruit imports and to facilitate the car

imports. (21st Century Business Herald)
