"disappointing" results of this round of trade talks

They, as I think, agreed to continue to disagree on some of the thorniest issues:
  • the undervaluation of the Chinese currency--"Renminbi" (or "Yuan");
  • the failure of Chinese government in its protection of intellectual properties;
  • American companies' access to the Chinese market, especially in the financial services sector
  • he parties did agree on the following
  • the number of daily passenger flights between the U.S. and China will be doubled in 2012 from the current 10 to 23 in five years;
  • an increase of the number of cargo flights will also increase;
  • a slight expansion of financial services to enter into China
  • trade deficit with China is simply too large to overlook; it was a whopping $232.5 billion in 2006
    which is reportedly larger than U.S. trade deficit with any country in history
    China
    unlikely to back down on its position to let the Renminbi rise
