Congressman John Curtis, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, posed several questions to experts about China’s predatory trade and investment strategy during a joint sub-committee hearing. Watch Congressman Curtis’ opening statement and questioning here. “Although I applaud the President for pushing back on China’s unfair and predatory trade practices, I am very concerned about what the harsh realities of a rapidly escalating trade war with China will mean for Utah’s businesses and families,” Curtis said. “China has often sought to steal U.S. intellectual property, manipulate their currency, and saturate the market with excess capacity in commodities like steel and aluminum, all to the detriment of American businesses and the U.S. economy. While I believe that tariffs are certainly one tool in the toolbox for balancing our trade imbalance with China, I believe the Administration should also look to leverage other tools as well.” The full committee hearing, including the witness list and hearing memo, can be found here. ###
