Democrat urges tougher stance on trade with China

Posted by Author on November 9, 2006

Wed 8 Nov 2006, Reuters-

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States needs to get tougher on trade with China, a top Democrat said Wednesday after his party won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in congressional elections.

“I don’t think the administration has taken up any issue with the Chinese,” Rep. Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat, told reporters. “We should insist if they are going to trade with us it’s going to be fair trade.”

Rangel, who is poised to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was an improvement over his predecessor, John Snow, when it came to China trade.

But “we have not been tough enough with those nations that continue to dump goods” in the United States, Rangel said.

The Bush administration also has been too reluctant to bring trade complaints against China at the World Trade Organization, Rangel said.

The veteran lawmaker said he wanted to sit down with Paulson and U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab to discuss how Republicans and Democrats can work together on trade.
