Thanks for the info.

“He (Hunter) said China rebates its own taxes on all of its exported goods, and then imposes taxes on American imports, thus providing about a $34 advantage for every $100 of actual value of its own products. The United States, though, does not impose import duties of that sort, nor does it rebate the taxes on our own exports.

“Republicans are the party of markets, but we’re not the party of dumb markets,” he said. “Trade agreements are business deals, and it is more important than ever that we have smart business deals. What I am proposing is not protectionism, it’s just reciprocity. And it is important because they are using the trade to develop 75-100 short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles each year and to construct a large number of submarines....That’s ominous.”’

A belated thanks for the Hunter info, FRiend. I checked out the videos on Hunter’s site a while back where he explains the unfair Chinese rebates — he did a great job with those. I have trouble sorting out various candidates’ trade proposals in my head — markets are so complex that I find it difficult to even guess what the outcome of a given trade action would be. Ugh.
