The New York Times Editorial Board is a major opponent of enforcing
trade rules. Any proposal to enforce rules are called, by the
Board, "protectionist" and an effort to "erect a barricade."
Their editorial today
shows the quandary they face between unthinking "free trade" advocacy,
and their concern for safety and economic strength. They denounce
the lack of quality in China, but say it is not in our interest to
start a "trade war."
Did someone propose a trade war? I can't recall that. Did someone propose "erecting barriers?" No.
But
we do propose enforcing rules prohibiting unfair trade practices and
neutralizing currency manipulation. We do propose eliminating the
mercantilist effects of border adjustable taxes used by more than 140
of our trading partners.
Can someone please join an intelligent debate, and graduate from junior high?
