A recently agreed trade action plan between China and the US that would further open up the Chinese market for US agricultural products and financial services could mean more options for Chinese consumers, but increased competition for domestic companies, experts said on Sunday.


Chinese and US officials announced last week that they had reached an initial consensus on several trade issues, as part of the 100-day action plan for bilateral trade negotiations.


These included allowing US beef exports to enter China by mid-July and granting market access for US financial institutions to provide credit rating services and electronic payment services in China.


This could benefit Chinese consumers as it will allow for cheaper, better quality goods and services Kevin Byard Titans Jersey , particularly agricultural products, according to Ma Wenfeng, a senior analyst at Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant.


"If we resume the imports of US beef, we will have more sources for beef," Ma told the Global Times on Sunday Derrick Henry Titans Jersey , adding that US beef is generally better than the meat imported from Brazil. "The US has better safety regulations for beef than Brazil, which ensures better quality," Ma said.

China also temporarily barred meat imports from Brazil in March this year following a scandal in which Brazilian officials were found to be taking bribes to allow the sale of rotten meat.

"As the Chinese capital market is going through reforms and opening up, it's in the interest of the investors to have a diverse, open market Jonnu Smith Titans Jersey ," Li Daxiao, chief economist at Shenzhen-based Yingda Securities, told the Global Times on Sunday.


Liu Xuezhi, a senior analyst at Bank of Communications, added that "it's a crucial step to involve US firms Taywan Taylor Titans Jersey , which tend to be more mature, in the opening up and internation.
