China said Tuesday it would "neither explicitly nor implicitly" force foreign companies to transfer technologies, a practice that has long been seen by the US and other countries as an economic aggression.

"The Chinese need money and want US tariffs removed," said Derek Scissors, a resident scholar at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. "Their level of interest in true liberalization remains minimal."
