So Chinese Steel is bad now?

[Bruce_T_Laney]

It seem Hillary Clinton and those voting for her are now focusing on the fact that Donald Trump legally bought Chinese Steel to be used in his buildings, but what they have left out of the discussion is the mere fact that the Government has also been guilty of the same damn thing!

The two links I have just provided will show that Chinese Steel has been used to build bridges in this country and show that the Federal, State and local governments put Chinese workers first and the American Steel worker last as usual...

Now some of you will write about how Donald Trump has never put the American worker first which I will agree but I will agree with Donald Trump that as long as those like him can buy Chinese Steel legally then it is not his fault but the government fault for making it easy to do!

So as some of you want to blast Trump for buying Chinese Steel and show him as a hypocrite, well then you should be upset at your own government for acting just like Trump and if not then you're the true hypocrite in this discussion!

Another thing to keep in mind is that businesses have to compete with each other. If it's much cheaper to use Chinese made steel than American made steel, then a business using Chinese made steel will have a competitive advantage. If Trump were not to use Chinese steel, another company may had been able to under bid Trump and get the project.

So we're not bringing jobs back to america, never were, just more lies from "both" sides as per usual.

EU hits China with steel dumping tariffs...

EU slaps China with new steel anti-dumping duties
Saturday 28th January, 2017: The EU slapped definitive anti-dumping duties on steel products from China and Taiwan on Friday, as it broadens its campaign to protect struggling steel manufacturers in Europe.

The measure is part of an EU push against China, which makes more than half the world's steel, for allegedly flooding global markets in violation of international trade agreements.

It comes as protectionist US President Donald Trump promises to crack down on China's dominance of world trade, prompting a vigorous defense of globalisation by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week. "The European Commission's investigation confirmed that Chinese and Taiwanese stainless steel tube and pipe butt-welding fittings had been sold in Europe at dumped prices," the EU's executive arm said in a statement.

The targeted products are used to join steel pipes and tubes, and are commonly used in industries such as food processing and shipbuilding as well as energy and construction. The EU has had a series of trade disputes with China, its second-largest trading partner, but is also seeking to resolve the stand-off over steel with Beijing through the OECD, the Paris-based group of developed economies. Brussels now has more than 100 trade defence measures in place, 39 of them targeting unfair imports of steel products of which 15 are Chinese.
