In his first visit to China since becoming the European Union Trade Commissioner, Peter Mandelson called for China to adopt a responsible approach to global trade, urging the Chinese not to dump cheap textiles in the world market when the textile quota regime ends January 2005. China owned 28% of the worldwide textile market in 2003 and is expected to capture 50% of the market after the quota restriction expires. Separately, Mandelson said in a speech in Beijing that the EU is prepared to move ahead in lifting the arms embargo against China.
