WASHINGTON - With its exploding appetite for energy, China - not quite an ally, not quite an adversary - is helping drive up world oil prices and putting still more strain on its relationship with the United States. (article 2)
The importance stretches far beyond the gas pump, although that is where Americans are left wondering what's behind the run-up, why it can't be stopped, and who is to blame. (article 2)
The Americans scolded the Chinese on mismanaging their economy, from state subsidies to foreign investment regulations to the valuation of their currency. (article 9)
Leading businesses in China and the United States, seeking to overcome mutual suspicion of foreign investment, announced $14 billion in new business deals on Monday, on the eve of high-level economic talks to ease tensions between the two countries. (article 7)
The deals involve $8 billion in Chinese investments and purchases of aircraft engines, telecommunications equipment, semiconductors and electronic components, said Chen Deming (article 7)
The US will urge China to be more transparent about its oil stockpiles and the policies governing its strategic petroleum reserve at talks starting on Tuesday, Hank Paulson, Treasury secretary has told the Financial Times. (article 12)
