What They're Saying
U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
"Further postponement of the Section 232 investigation will invite a growing deluge of steel imports into the U.S. and cause even greater damage to the U.S. steel sector.”
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer
"The sheer scale of [China’s] coordinated efforts to develop their economy…and to distort markets in China and throughout the word is a threat to the world trading system that is unprecedented.”
Dr. James Mulvenon, General Manager, Special Programs Division, SOS International
"...the number of examples where China has successfully avoided U.S. regulatory regimes to prevent technology transfer harmful U.S. national security are increasing. The Chinese are learning our system, identifying its gaps and weaknesses, and finding new ways to exploit American technology to their advantage."
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX)
"By exploiting gaps in the existing CFIUS review process, potential adversaries, such as China, have been effectively degrading our country’s military technological edge by acquiring, and otherwise investing in, U.S. companies."
James Lewis, Senior Vice President, Center for Strategic and International Studies
“China’s goal is to end its dependence on foreign technology and overtake the U.S., as it has overtaken other nations.”

As Montreal's metro sees its first CRRC railcars, @LaPresse_news reports that the contract is ripe for a close examination. Fact is, CRRC benefits from huge state subsidies that leave market competitors unable to compete.

Nationwide, the freight rail manufacturing and supply industry powers the U.S. economy to the tune of $75.78 billion in gross domestic product. HR 838 invests in this vital industry. #FreightRAILCARAct
(Sigh)
Tariffs = help level the playing field vs. non-market, anticompetitive China.
Why the need for #tariffs on Chinese-made goods and parts? They help ensure "workers and businesses can compete fairly" in critical industries, said @USTradeRep Ambassador Katherine Tai. @Reuters @AmbassadorTai
IN NEWS: @USTradeRep's Katherine Tai called out China’s “state-directed, unfair and anticompetitive non-market policies and practices, which threaten the existence of our market-oriented industries,” necessitating strong #tariffs on Chinese steel/parts
