Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi On Biden Administration’s New Actions To Protect American Workers From The Chinese Communist Party’s Predatory Trade Practices

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party today issued the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s announcement of new actions to support American workers and businesses while holding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable for its unfair trade practices:

“President Biden’s targeted actions on behalf of American workers, farmers, and businesses will protect our economy from the brazenly predatory and unfair trade practices of the Chinese Communist Party. This new action was developed through a thorough and thoughtful review conducted in coordination with our allies under Ambassador Tai’s leadership. Working in tandem with our ongoing investments in our infrastructure, research, and workers, it will bolster American manufacturing and competitiveness. For decades, the CCP has engaged in anticompetitive trade practices, flooding global markets with artificially cheap products to wipe out competition while stealing technology and other intellectual property. As the CCP seeks to expand these predatory tactics, President Biden’s policies will help to level the playing field. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the Administration to help American workers and businesses prove yet again that they can out-compete anyone.”
