The Bush administration, citing evidence of progress by China to improve labor rights, announced Friday it had rejected a petition to begin a trade investigation into Chinese labor practices.

The decision turned down a request filed in June by the AFL-CIO and two members of Congress who contended the Chinese were violating international labor standards and costing 1.24 million American jobs.

In a statement issued by the office of U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab, the administration said engagement with China was producing evidence of real progress that labor conditions were improving in China and launching a trade investigation was not the best way to proceed.
