The Alliance for American Manufacturing in Washington D.C. is pushing politicians and businesses for tougher trade policies against China.
Executive Director for the Manufacturing group said they only demand
trade policies that are reasonable. He claims that China does not favor
US companies and prefers to do partnerships with Chinese business.
Reports quote him as saying "What usually happens is, China sets up
partnerships and American companies have trouble selling their goods
and services there because of their policies that favor Chinese
businesses."
Alabama exports to China have increased nearly 750 percent over the
past ten years, hitting $808.5 million last year, making it Alabama's
third largest trade partner.
