WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has promised to make it easier for U.S. companies to export high-technology goods to China, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan said on Tuesday.

U.S. officials also said they would "step up cooperation ... toward the recognition of China's market economy status," Wang told reporters at the end of two days of high-level economic and foreign policy talks.

China has long argued that easing U.S. export controls on high-technology would help ease the huge trade imbalance between the two countries. It also dislikes that it is still consider a "non-market" economy under U.S. trade law.
