CHICAGO Anthony Averett Jersey , July 13 (Xinhua) -- Some 20-odd Chinese and U.S. enterprises on Thursday signed agricultural transaction contracts worth 5.012 billion U.S. dollars, under which Chinese enterprises will import 12.53 million tons of soybean and 371 tons of pork and beef from the U.S. companies.
Nearly 100 officials and enterprise representatives from China and the United States attended the signing ceremony held in Des Moines, Iowa.
Addressing the ceremony, Counselor for Science and Technology with Chinese Consulate in Chicago Xu Hai said Chinese and U.S. presidents have agreed in their first meeting in April this year to carry out the "the 100-Day Action Plan" under the framework of the U.S.-China Comprehensive Economic Dialogue (CED), this activity (contract signing) "can be taken as one of the concrete measures that materialize the presidential meeting between the two countries."
As urbanization further progresses and the population of the middle class further expands in China, China's consumption market scale will keep enlarging. "There are still huge growth potentials for U.S. exports to China in the future," Xu added.
Adam Gregg, Lieutenant Governor of Iowa, feels excited about the partnership Iowa has developed with China. "With the opening of China for U.S. beef, that is a very exciting development for the state of Iowa and for our cattle farmers here," Gregg told Xinhua.
Gregg said a week from today, "Governor Reynolds will be in China leading an all-agricultural trade delegation."
China Chamber of Commerce of Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Native Produce and Animal By-Products (CCCFNA) has organized this event in cooperation with U.S. Soybean Export Council. CCCFNA President Bian Zhenhu is confident of Sino-U.S. cooperation in agricultural products.
"As consumption in China upgrades, and the trade environment created by the two countries grows better, the potentials of cooperation between the two countries will be huge," he told Xinhua.
Statistics show that trade volume between China and U.S. reached 519.6 billion yuan in 2016, 211 times the amount when the two countries knotted diplomatic ties. In 2006-2015, U.S. goods export to China grew 114 percent. U.S. now has 26 percent of its Boeing aircraft export, 56 percent of soybean export, 16 percent of motor vehicle export, 15 percent of agricultural products export and 15 percent of integrated circuit (IC) export destined for China.
Statistics also show that U.S. soybean shiploads destined for China in the 2016-2017 crop year was 33.79 million tons by May 11, 2017, higher than 26.747 million tons reported in the same period of last year and up 32.2 percent.

BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhuanet) -- The current heatwave is expected to last at least another 10 days, forecasters have said.
Temperatures yesterday reached 38.5 degrees Celsius — having on Monday hit 40 degrees in the Pudong New Area, bringing a scorching end to July after weeks of unseasonably cool weather.
Over the next few days, temperatures of up to 39 degrees are likely, said the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau.
As the subtropical high pressure front responsible for the heatwave moves north, the high will dip to around 36 degrees from next Tuesday.
This summer’s second orange high temperature warning — the second in a three-tier system — was issued just before 8:50am yesterday.
By 10:30am, the mercury had passed 35 degrees in most of the city.
Benchmark Xujiahui weather station recorded a high of 38.5 degrees, while in Pudong temperatures reached 38.6 degrees.
The lowest temperature was recorded in Chongming County where the mercury peaked at a still pretty hot 36.6 degrees.
Today, the high should be around 38 degrees, while between tomorrow and Sunday temperatures will range from 28 to 37 degrees.
There will be a mix of sunny and overcast weather over this period, said forecasters.
Meanwhile, local hospitals have reported an increase in patients this month, though the link to the weather was not made clear.
According to data compiled by the local health and family planning commission, several major hospitals — including Zhongshan, Huashan, Ruijin, Renji and Shanghai No.6 People’s Hospital — each reported daily numbers seeking emergency treatment reaching around 10,000.
Xinhua Hospital and Renji Hospital saw their numbers reach a record 16,000.
To tackle the increase, Ruijin Hospital is now providing a registration service at 5:45am, 15 minutes earlier than before, while Zhongshan Hospital has canceled lunch breaks.
Fudan University’s Children’s Hospital reported its daily average patient number rising sharply to 7,000 in July, after the school summer vacation started.
