Thanks for agreeing that the Chinese are dumping. You wouldn't take my word for it before. Maybe you will from now on.

No offense, but I think it's reasonable to expect proof when anybody makes an assertion.

BTW, my original point was to refute the claim that Reagan wasn't a free-trader. Reagan most certainly was a strong proponent of free trade. But critics have distorted his imposition of tariffs on semiconductors, steel, and other products to mean protectionism, when in fact it was intended to prevent illegal dumping by foreign companies in the U.S. marketplace.
