. By Joe Mcdonald, AP, April 3, 2008. "Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulsen called Thursday for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation on energy conservation, and for Beijing to cut import duties on environmental technology... Paulson lauded China's recent steps to tighten environmental rules and said it could become a leader in deploying advanced technology for conservation... [He] said China could benefit from importing technology to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supply cleaner water. But he said that is hindered by high tariffs and other import barriers. 'A high priority should be given to eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers on products, goods and services that can improve the health and welfare of the Chinese people,' he said."
