【正确答案】 China-US trade
When talking about China-US trade, we should not overlook one fundamental (basic) fact; that is, in the past 25 years, two-way trade has expanded enormously. From a mere 2. 5 billion US dollars in 1979 to over 100 billion today, the increase is dozens of times.
No one in his wildest imagination could have forecast 25 years ago the magnitude of today' s China-US trade and economic relations. With over40,000 US-invested enterprises, the paid-in value of US investment in China stands at 43 billion US dollars. Of the top 500 US companies, more than 400 have come to China, and most of them are making a handsome profit. The McDonald' s and KFC chain stores are found in almost every Chinese city, large or small. Products bearing such famous American trademarks as Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, Kodak and GM sell quickly on the Chinese market. At the same time, many items of Chinese merchandise have become favored choices of US consumers. The number of Chinese-invested enterprises in the US has surpassed 700.
