YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Representative Paul D. Ryan, seizing on new ammunition Saturday with which to attack President Obama on his stance toward China, criticized his administration delaying a report on currency manipulation that was due to be released next week.

In his first solo appearance since Thursday’s vice-presidential debate, Mr. Ryan, Mitt Romney’s running mate, focused attention on the issue as he appealed to voters in a Democratic-leaning corner of this state. He argued that Mr. Obama was giving China a free pass as manufacturing communities at home continued to suffer.

Mr. Romney has vowed to declare China a currency manipulator on his first day in office — a move Mr. Ryan criticized the president for not taking in the nearly four years he has been in the White House.

“The administration had their eighth chance to label China a currency manipulator,” Mr. Ryan told supporters at Youngstown State University, referring to the report. “It’s due in two days. They say they’re going to push this deadline off until after the election. That’s eight opportunities they had to say, ‘You know what? Play fair with us. Trade with us fairly.’ ”
