Following the failure by US and Chinese negotiators to reach an agreement in the row over textile imports, the Bush administration has put new curbs on the importation of certain types of clothes in place, it emerged last week.
Although it was agreed that further talks on the matter will take place at an unspecified date in the future, the US authorities last week announced their decision to impose limits on imports of bras and synthetic fabric, adding to limits on cotton trousers, certain types of underwear and knitted shirts that were already in place.
In a statement released ahead of this week's visit to the US by Chinese President Hu Jintao, the Chinese Commerce Ministry explained that:
"Both sides showed a certain flexibility but due to differences on fundamental issues the talks did not reach agreement."
The Chinese government is also embroiled in a spat with the European Union on the same issue.
