Bush, China's Hu Discuss Tech Issues

Chinese President Hu Jintao came to America this week, and tech talk was on the agenda.

While at the White House, Hu urged the United States to ease controls on high-technology exports to China. U.S. President Bush and Hu agreed to more cooperation in countering terrorism, combating avian flu and responding to natural disasters.

Hu added that China is ready to expand its market access, increase U.S. imports and strengthen intellectual property protection. He further said that that is ready to expand people exchanges in culture, education, science and technology.

Also this week, President Bush picked a new White House budget director and U.S. trade representative, and details of comprehensive Senate telecommunications legislation surfaced. For those stories and more, listen to this week's podcast.
