WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The United States will insist China play by international trade rules, but will not move unilaterally to keep out China's exports, Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday.
"The policy of this administration is to say to China -- which occasionally the last administration was reluctant to do -- 'you're a major player on the world scene economically and you've got to play by the rules that everybody else plays by,'" Biden said in an interview on CNBC.
"'Not more stringent. We're not going to impose on you, or attempt to impose on you, restraints that benefit our economy inconsistent with international trade agreements that exist,'" Biden said.
