"What President Obama Should Say to President Xi on Trade"

"If someone were asking me, these are the goals on trade I would set for the Xi summit. First, reach an agreement on currency manipulation practices by the Chinese. Or at least begin the negotiation of one."

Secondly, the President should make clear that the Chinese government's massive subsidies to China's manufacturers are not in compliance with China's commitments under international agreements and that they must be curtailed.

"Is It Finally Time for Currency Trade Legislation?"
 -- "The September trade deficit with China, at $30.5 billion, was the highest on record. By that I mean, not only the highest on record with China. It is the highest on record the United States has ever had with any trading partner in one month. That means that manufactured goods, including high technology goods, are coming in from China at an ever-increasing rate. And they are fueled by unfair trade."

The Anti-Manufacturing Forces in Washington" -- "Hard as it may be to believe, there are forces in Washington that oppose the revival of the U.S. manufacturing sector. Who are they, and how do we counter their efforts? I think -- roughly -- they fall into five groups."

"We need to confront the nay-sayers and turn this ship around."

January 24, 2011 – As President Obama prepares his State of the Union message, focusing on jobs, he should squarely face up to the problem of U. S. companies moving manufacturing jobs to China. All of the friendly handshakes with President Hu have not changed that.

August 31, 2010 - One of the most amazing things about the trade war we are fighting is that the U. S. government often does not appear to know we are even in a war. But if you go to any manufacturing town in this country, and look at the empty storefronts and the broken down plants, talk to a taxi driver or a Dunkin Donut clerk who used to work in the local factory for triple his current wage, it is clear we are in a war and it is one we are losing.

April 1, 2010 - It is now time for the President and the Congress to turn to international trade. That should be the next big push. The area has been neglected on Capital Hill since 1994. It is hard to imagine why Americans have put up with it for so long. The benefits of trade have been superseded by the downsides. Unfair trade hurts the many Americans who have lost their jobs, the U.S. companies that have gone out of business, and the communities across this country that now look like ghost towns.


Mr. Kaplan is also the President of the Committee to Support U. S. Trade Laws (CSUSTL), an organization of companies, trade associations, unions and individuals dedicated to preserving and enhancing the trade remedy laws U.S. companies have access to which ensure international trade is conducted on a fair basis. Mr. Kaplan regularly writes on trade and manufacturing issues for a variety of publications, including The Huffington Post.

"Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufacturers. Every nation ... ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of a national supply. They comprise the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing and defense ... The expediency of encouraging manufactures in the United States, which was not long since deemed very questionable, appears at this time to be pretty generally admitted."        Alexander Hamilton ... an American Made Hero!
