Cracking Down On China: Obama Will Announce New Trade Action Against China In Ohio

[Lakhota]

By Pema Levy

President Obama will announce that his administration is cracking down on China's practice of subsidizing auto parts made for export with a new case they are taking to the World Trade Organization while campaigning in Ohio, Monday, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The administration says China's practices hurt states like Ohio which count on the auto industry for jobs. The administration will also ask the WTO to move forward with a review of a separate case in which the U.S. alleged that China is placing unfair duties on cars imported from the United States.

The auto industry rescue is a prominent feature of Obama's campaign, particularly in states like Ohio. According to the White House, 475,000 Americans -- including 54,200 Ohioans -- work for the auto parts industry.

Yes, thank you Mr. President for asking the WTO to 'review' the situation. That'll show the Chinese, eh?

What's next? A sternly worded letter? Maybe a UN resolution calling the Chinese meanies?

Well, that's better than what Romney and his lead go-to foreign policy advisor, John Bolton, would do. Suggesting or threatening to nuke countries ain't too smart.

The first thing that pops to mind when it comes to getting tough with China is the response they'll be able to toss at us: "Oh, okay, maybe we'll stop buying your bonds. In fact, maybe we'll sell a few million of them."

We put ourselves in this position.

What the fuck does John Bolton or Iran have to do with the thread topic, which is China's unfair trade practices, Shitting Bull?

Nothing. You're deflecting your own thread because you saw it was an immediate FAIL. Dumb ass.

I don't think there is anything left to part, as the sea levels have all lowered, as Obama promised.

China has leant us billions. I do believe their economy is tied to ours now.

I also believe the Chinese will politely tell Barry to stick it up his ass.

I am astounded that Shitting Bull thinks 'asking' the WTO to 'review' is some sort of accomplishment.

You using his picture while spewing your wingnut venom is classically ignorant and very disrespectful. I doubt you even know anything about his political orientation.

Exactly. Obama had 4 years to act on China and trade. Now he decides to TALK about it during his campaign...in Ohio no less. We can see through these tactics. If he was serious, he would have done something during his term.
