President Trump Launching Section 301 Trade Infringement Investigation Against China
Posted on 8/14/17 at 3:26 pm

quote:
During an afternoon announcement with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, President Trump announced the launch of section 301 trade investigations into China’s business practices for theft of U.S. technology and violations of U.S. intellectual property rights.
Perhaps the most overlooked portion of the remarks from President Trump happened as he sat down to sign the Presidential Memorandum authorizing the official investigation:
…This is only the beginning folks. This is only the beginning…
For approximately 30 years China has been engaged in a unidirectional trade war against the United States of America; facilitated and enabled by both Democrats and Republicans who have been purchased by multinational and corporate lobbyists to block any effort to defend our U.S. interests. The biggest victims have been U.S. middle-class workers.
Today, for the first time in modern U.S. history, a singular President stood up and began what will be an arduous process of fighting back, defending the U.S. economy and balancing the rights of U.S. workers and companies with “fair” and “reciprocal” trade.
quote:
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 provides the United States with the authority to enforce trade agreements, resolve trade disputes, and open foreign markets to U.S. goods and services. It is the principal statutory authority under which the United States may impose trade sanctions on foreign countries that either violate trade agreements or engage in other unfair trade practices. When negotiations to remove the offending trade practice fail, the United States may take action to raise import duties on the foreign country’s products as a means to rebalance lost concessions.

I hope when he's taken out that I'm out on a cruise ship and can avoid the bloodshed in the cities.

China's economy depends on the U.S. This is how we get China to force NK to take steps to denuclearize.
You really can't see this?

How exactly does one press China for extra efforts on NK without leverage? Ask nicely?

Or they are stonewalling nk talks so we apply pressure.
But that explanation doesn't allow you to continue wallowing around in your bullshite. So carry on
Eta: 4 dif posters saw the same retardation in your post and called you on it practically at the same time.

They are expecting Trump to act like Clinton, Bush and Obama until Trump sends them a different signal.
This is only the beginning.

According to Gordon Chang, Chinese/NK foreign policy expert, Trump's next step if this escalates is implementing Section 311 of the Patriot Act against Chinese banks that deal in U.S. dollars:
quote:
Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act added 31 USC 5318A to the BSA, which authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require domestic financial institutions and domestic financial agencies to take certain special measures against foreign jurisdictions, foreign financial institutions, classes of international transactions, or types of accounts of primary money laundering concern.

I agree. We're fast approaching the point of no return( if we haven't passed t already), so I'm ok with rolling the dice in an effort to avoid direct confrontation.
Just curious to see whether the Chinese value their economy more than having a pain in our side in NK. I still think the correct play is to allow China to install a puppet in exchange for a bloodless coup. SK will have to settle for a saved Seoul and less bellicose neighbor who they can still sell shite to.
