Praise for White House Implementation of
Section 301 Tariffs on High-Tech Goods from China
The
Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), which includes more than 4 million
members in the manufacturing, agricultural, and labor sectors, today strongly
praised the Trump Administration’s implementation of new tariffs on $50 billion
worth of Chinese goods produced via intellectual property theft, forced
technology transfer and cyber attacks. CPA sees this Section 301 tariff action
as crucial in combating China’s aggressive efforts to seize economic dominance
of key advanced technology sectors.
Dan
DiMicco, CPA Chairman, said, “This is a bold, brave, and necessary step, both
to hold China accountable for its hostile actions and to ensure the future
viability of key U.S. high-tech sectors. There should be no mistaking China’s
hostile behavior, and we commend the president and his trade team of
Lighthizer, Ross, and Navarro for taking action. All of the evidence for
China’s unacceptable behavior, and the implications for the U.S. economy, are
available in the administration’s Section 301 report. Whether it’s
the technology theft conducted by China and its government-owned companies, or
the coercive practices that force U.S. companies to yield proprietary
intellectual property, this is an ugly situation that cannot continue.” [more...]
