Associated Press report: U.S. Ambassador warns that China's manufacturing dominance is increasing
The U.S. ambassador to China on Thursday called for fair and reciprocal trade between the world's two largest economies, and expressed concern that China's dominant position in global manufacturing will further increase in the coming years.
U.S. Ambassador Perdue told business and government officials in Beijing that it is worth congratulating China for becoming a manufacturing power, but Chinese exports pose a threat to factories and jobs in other countries. "This is unhealthy for the rest of the world," he said at the annual dinner of the U.S.-China Chamber of Commerce.
Perdue, appointed by President Donald Trump, supports imposing tariffs on goods imported from China and many other countries in an effort to achieve U.S. reindustrialization and increase factory jobs.
Perdue said, "They have been able to create space to solve many difficult and complex issues for us." China has benefited from free trade with other countries around the world, while U.S. companies have faced a series of barriers in the Chinese market for many years.
"The U.S. does not seek a trade war, but we seek fair, free and reciprocal trade."
