Chinese and US officials on Monday agreed to pursue a cautious approach on the timing to withdraw the economic stimulus measures which were adopted to overcome the global economic crisis.<br/><br/>An understanding in this regard was reached during the economic dialogue being held between Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Qishan, and US Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner, in Beijing. <br/><br/>Zhang Xiaoqiang, vice-chairman of the National Development told a media briefing that the foundation of the world economic recovery is not yet solid, and the sovereign debt crisis in several euro zone nations is adding to uncertainty. <br/><br/>He said the European Community is China's biggest trading partner, and China will, therefore, keep a close eye on the crisis, and, in particular, its negative effect on the economic recovery in Europe.
