Clinton urges China to continue buying US Treasuries

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday wrapped up her three-day visit, reaching broad consensus with the Chinese leadership on a wide range of issues and urging Beijing to keep buying US Treasury bonds.

"By continuing to support American Treasury instruments, the Chinese are recognizing our interconnection.

"It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving," Clinton said at the US embassy shortly before departing for Washington.
