US Trade Rep Katherine Tai to condemn China's 'unfair trade practices'
CNN
US Trade Representative Katherine Tai is expected to condemn China's "unfair trade practices" during remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC, on Monday, according to a senior administration official.
Tai will cite examples of how practices have allegedly "hurt our workers and our industries" and "given Beijing an unfair advantage in the global trading system," the official told reporters Sunday. The official added that though "our objective is not to escalate trade tensions with China," Tai will also "point to China's failure to reform its non-market policies or follow through on the commitments it made during high-level dialogues with US officials over the last 15 years."
"For too long, China's lack of adherence to global trading norms has undercut the prosperity of Americans and others around the world," Tai will say, according to prepared excerpts of her remarks provided to CNN by the United States Trade Representative's office. "Unlike the past, this administration will engage from a position of strength because we are investing in our workers and our infrastructure."
