国内英语资讯:Feature: U.S. beef producers welcome renewal of exports to China

"The opening of the China market is great news for Texas ranchers that produce safe, high-quality beef each and every day," said Jason Bagley, senior manager of beef resources at the Texas Beef Council. "The market is constantly developing and we look forward to having the opportunity to provide Chinese consumers with a great beef eating experience in the future."

The renewal of beef trade is only part of bilateral deal between the United States and China, but it could be translated into positive signs for further deepening cooperation between the two countries.

The reopening of U.S. beef market to China could lead to expanded overall trade between the two nations, said Professor Steven Lewis, China research fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston. The trade deal also opens the market for expanded U.S. exports of chicken and natural gas, he said.

"Everybody looks at this as a good for the beef, natural gas and poultry industries, but it's really just like an appetizer," he said.

Meanwhile, some people express that they hope international cooperation in economic area would help improve relations among nations.

Rich Anderson, whose family has raised and sold cattle at the Muleshoe Ranch in Gail, western Texas, for 141 years, said that reopening U.S.-China beef exports will raise demand for Texas beef, a "win-win" for both countries.

"We've got to make friends with everybody" he said. "I feel this (trade deal) will help our relations. Nobody wants to fight. Everybody has got to be fair traders, and fair on each side."
