President Joe Biden’s nominee for U.S. Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, on Feb. 25 pledged to work with allies to hold the Chinese regime accountable for its unfair trade practices.
In remarks at her confirmation hearing conducted by the Senate Finance Committee, Tai described the Chinese regime as “as simultaneously a rival, a trade partner, and an outsized player whose cooperation we’ll also need to address certain global challenges.”
“We must remember how to walk, chew gum, and play chess at the same time,” she added.
Tai, who grew up in Taiwan and is a fluent Mandarin speaker, is the top trade lawyer for the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee. She also previously served for several years as head of China enforcement at the trade representative’s office.
“I know firsthand how critically important it is that we have a strategic and coherent plan for holding China accountable to its promises and effectively competing with its model of state-directed economics,” she said.
The Trump administration placed tariffs on $360 billion worth of Chinese goods in response to the regime’s expansive state-sanctioned campaign to steal U.S. intellectual property (IP). It also entered into trade negotiations with the regime in an attempt to force Beijing to overhaul a range of unfair economic practices, such as heavy subsidies for domestic industries, forcing U.S. companies to transfer IP as a condition to enter the Chinese market, and currency manipulation.
While the two sides entered into a phase one trade deal in January 2020, in which the Chinese regime promised to buy an additional $200 billion over the next two years, Beijing has so far fallen short of these purchase commitments. It also pledged to carry out structural changes, including protecting intellectual property, stopping forced technology transfers, and providing transparency on foreign exchange practices.

We should have know that the Red Chinese were the DNC’s “partners”. They’re both KY cowboys.
Chinese: This jerk Biden must have been born yesterday. We are being showered with overflowing oceans of luck. I could almost turn religious it’s so wonderful.
2nd Chinese: Hey, what’s that? Watch it.

A BIDEN WIN WAS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide
There is a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to destroy the economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. When that happened it created problems we didn’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved caused by it and the CCP and make them pay.
