| Description | China’s currency manipulation is set to become a major campaign issue for Democrats in the final weeks before Election Day.
House Democratic leaders are considering legislation that would hit Chinese imports with tariffs for currency manipulation, while business groups have launched an all-out effort to stop that bill in its tracks.
In an interview, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), the lead sponsor of the China bill under consideration, argued his bill could be “tremendously helpful” to Democrats trying to rally their base in the fall, particularly in the Rust Belt where manufacturing jobs have been lost to China.
“A lot of people talk about the enthusiasm gap. A lot of that is labor and union voters,” Ryan said. |
