China and the US have ended two days of trade negotiations with very little apparent progress on their key issues of dispute.

China agreed to increase safety standards on exports to the US, prompting Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi to declare the talks a "complete success".

US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the meetings in China provided a foundation for further co-operation.

Yet there was no deal on the yuan and China's giant US trade surplus.

Mr Paulson added that the US had also got agreement from Beijing that China would make it easier for American firms to work in the country.
