May 10, 2019 at 5:52 pmU.S. Companies need to get over their moaning about there own specific problems and understand the overall picture. China has been beating us like a rented mule with unfair tariffs and trade practices since they were permitted to enter the WTO a few decades ago. Since their WTO entry, there has been no retaliatory measures taken by any of our leaders and I think China has been very comfortable with the status quo. We are simply trying to level the playing field, not only with China, but across the globe. This is not a new situation beginning in 2016, this is a situation that has existed since December 2001.
