U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce David H. McCormick said in Beijing on Monday that the United States want to increase its hi-tech exports to China.

"We need to do everything possible we can to ensure US export control policies are not standing in the way of U.S. civilian technology transfers to China," said McCormick at a round table meeting with press during his trip to China.

He said the U.S. will update "our export policies to China," looking for ways to reduce the administrative burden on civilian trade.
