“Together, we are writing the wrongs of the past,” said the President at the signing ceremony. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
“The agreement, which was first reported on Dec. 12, includes commitments from Beijing to halt intellectual property theft, refrain from currency manipulation, cooperate in financial services and purchase more than $200 billion of U.S. products over the next two years,” adds Fox.
