Whatever the excuse is, it cannot cover up the US' flout of WTO rules and malicious attempt to suppress China,
China adheres to the basic principle of equality and reciprocity in its discourse with the US. It is likely that China will come up with countermeasures of 'similar scale' if US dares to engage in further unfair practices against China,
The so-called Section 301investigation is a familiar playbook as the clause has been abused by the former Trump administration to justify tariffs in its trade war waged against China. This time, the Biden administration resorts the same tool again while disguising it with a recently invented bizarre 'overcapacity' tag,
Tariffs on steel, which have a chance to be levied taking account of US' bad records in weaponizing trade tools, could pave the way for subsequent crackdown on industries which China has a competitive edge, but Biden could also be weighing the follow-up move more carefully as it would further fuel domestic inflation and meanwhile, send bilateral relations to a downward spiraling mode,
The US ignores international economic, trade order and rules, politicizes economic and trade issues, abuses the so-called Section 301 tariff review process, publicly demands arbitrary adjustments to tariffs on Chinese products, and passes on conflicts, which is a mistake on top of a mistake. Such a move does not help solve the problems faced by US industries,
Are those words meant for China or the US itself?"
The backbone of America has a steel spine,
I’m proud to be the most pro-union president in American history,
I would like to ask him: are you talking about China or the U.S. itself
They're not competing, they're cheating. They're cheating and we've seen the damage here in America,
It is a very clear and present danger, because the industrial policy of the Biden administration is largely focused on not the traditional low-skill, low-wage manufacturing, but new, high-tech manufacturing,
I want fair competition with China, not conflict, and we're in a stronger position to win the economic competition of the 21st century against China or anyone else,
You’ve got a president who’s bringing people together to get things done, like relieve student loan debt, protect American manufacturing, lead on the world stage, while Donald Trump screams into an echo chamber of MAGA extremism on Truth Social,
They've got a population that is more people in retirement than working,
I’m not looking for a fight with China,
American-owned, American-operated by American union steelworkers, the best in the world,
I've always believed we got it all wrong,
Those are precisely the areas where China has upped its own investments,
He is the first president in modern history to stand on a picket line,
Allowing one of our nation’s largest steel manufacturers to be purchased by a foreign-owned corporation leaves us vulnerable when it comes to meeting both our defense and critical infrastructure needs,
