President Biden’s administration has eliminated United States tariffs on more than 350 products made in China, nearly all of which could be made in the U.S.
The Section 301 tariffs on billions of dollars worth of China-made products were imposed by President Trump after a decades-long free trade consensus in Washington, D.C., that has eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the U.S. economy from 2001 to 2018.
Late last week, Biden’s U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai announced that after an extensive review process on nearly 550 China-made products subject to U.S. tariffs, the administration would eliminate tariffs on 352 of those products.
The China-made products that will escape U.S. tariffs thanks to Biden include breast pumps, solar water heaters, garage door openers, X-ray tables, and thermostats, as well as food products from China such as crab meat, Dungeness crab, and Alaskan sole.
“Once again, multinational importers and their army of Washington lobbyists have protected their ability to import cheap Chinese goods over sourcing from American manufacturers,” Zach Mottl, chairman of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), said in a statement:
We are disappointed that the Biden administration granted exclusions to the 301 tariffs on many Chinese products that have alternatives that are made or could be made right here in America, or are made outside of China. [Emphasis added]
A group of 140 House Republicans and Democrats had been lobbying Biden to cut U.S. tariffs on China-made products.
GOP signatories included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as well as Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Ken Buck (R-CO), Young Kim (R-CA), and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH).
A study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years.

Check out the companies with the 350 products. Guarantee that Congressional relatives are heavily invested.
These are also the companies that you should avoid, especially if they claim to be in the US.

“The sad part is that I have little to no confidence the GOP will do anything other than slow them down, a little.”
I wouldn’t count on the GOPe or the Assistant demonKKKrats doing anything, except “going along, to get along”.
China owns many powerful people in the US. China spent many years infiltrating us.
When China invades Taiwan, Biden can put these on and claim these are the toughest sanctions EVER!
Actually, that is what they do. Biden did that with insulin.
Until Joe Biden is removed from office America deserves to suffer. If we do not give a damn about ourselves, who will?
10% for the Big Guy.
Bingo
Alaskan Sole can come from China? Shouldn’t it be Chinese Sole? Most of the fish sold in stores today are from China...
And Vietnam, Thailand. And their fish farm practices are horrendous.
