WASHINGTON, Sept. 1(Xinhuanet)-- The US government announced on Thursday that it was re-imposing quotas on two more categories of Chinese clothing and textile imports.

It said that the US would limit imports of fabric made with synthetic filament threads and also bras and other body-supporting undergarments.

The US government also announced it was extending until October1 a deadline for making decisions in four other cases covering sweaters, dressing gowns, knit fabric and wool trousers.

"Today's announcement demonstrates this administration's commitment to leveling the playing field for US industries by enforcing our trade agreements," said Commerce Deputy Assistant Secretary Jim Leonard.

The action was taken after the latest negotiations in Beijing failed to make progress in reaching a comprehensive agreement on the dispute on textile trade between the two countries. Enditem
