Deputy United States Trade Representative Sarah Bianchi alluded to the possible imposition of further tariffs on Chinese imports while speaking at the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development’s inaugural Rethinking World Trade 2023 conference on April 13.
In her remarks, Bianchi outlined the Biden administration’s use of worker-centric trade policy. Unfortunately, as much as the Biden administration’s industrial policy has and can achieve, the United States cannot compete in a global market unfairly tipped in China’s favor through its use of state-owned enterprises, forced labor, and lax environmental laws—just to name a few of Beijing’s favorite means of maneuvering the global supply chain into a chokehold.
