　　Speech on China-US Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME) Forum

　　Good morning,

　　This is the second time the China General Chamber of Commerce has given me the privilege of sharing my thoughts on the commercial partnership between our nations. So, I want extend the sincere thanks to the CGCC for the invitation and opportunity to speak to all of you again today.

　　As head of the International Trade Administration, I am keenly aware that China is a critical partner in the advancing the trade efforts of our businesses and our country. In fact, today, China is our third largest export market where we delivered a record 124 billion dollars in goods last year. And as China's largest export market, it's clear that the US is also a critical partner in advancing the trade efforts of China and its business community.

　　One area of our partnership lies in our SME communities. From the US side, our small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of our economy and our export base. In fact, 92% of the US firms that export to China are SMEs. As for China's SME community, today SMEs are more than an essential contributor to the Chinese economy. According to official Chinese statistics, small and medium-sized enterprises over the years have accounted for a majority of urban employment, national GDP, tax revenues, new products, new patent applications and appropriately majority of the country's exports.

　　The collective commercial power of our SME communities is precisely why we launched the US China SME policy dialogue, and why we are having this forum right now. The US and China today are commercial competitors, but it is a competition that has our countries striving together to spur growth for our businesses, to generate prosperity for our workers, and to deepen the ties of our two great nations. And that competition, that collective striving between our countries fuels the most consequential commercial partnership in the world today.

　　Thanks for listening.

　　Internship: is it really necessary?

　　Most college students work as interns during their last college year. However, is such internship really necessary?

What is your opinion?
