Augustine Tantillo, AMTAC's Washington coordinator, noted that when restrictions were lifted on 29 textile categories, Chinese exports rose by 600 percent on every description. Adding to the mix, U.S. officials then took more than a year to establish safeguard procedures intended to allow a protest venue for American manufacturers to show cause why those restrictions should be reimposed.

Where do Americans get these silly notions of having the freedom to purchase any product they choose? The government and "impartial" individuals such as Mr. Tantillo are in a much better position to decide which products Americans should be allowed to purchase!

One aspect free trade is equal tarrifs. China charge high tarrif on import, insisting all factories built in china and nothing imported, while export everything to everyone. This not fair trade, not in US, not in Russia, not in EU.
