>>>Lighthizer has said before Congress that the main problems with China are forced technology transfer, the stealing of intellectual property, and currency manipulation.

If forced technology transfers were reduced, might that actually encourage more firms to produce in China?

Maybe. But the alternative is to let the Chinese force US firms to provide their technology and then produce those same items destroying the US firm. Add to that Chinese government subsidies to give their own firms even more of an advantage.

Hopefully, US firms could relocate elsewhere and not put their futures at risk.
