WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding the WTO ruling that duties that China imposed on the U.S. auto industry in 2011 were in violation of international trade rules:
"Today's outcome is a significant victory in the fight against China's practice of retaliating and intimidating those who dare to stand up to it," said Rep. Levin. “The United States will not shy away from enforcing U.S. trade laws, and we certainly won't tolerate the intimidation that China demonstrated in starting the investigation challenged in this dispute. The Obama Administration is to be commended for its activist and determined pursuit of both objectives on behalf of U.S. workers and businesses."
