Excerpt: The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative brought an unfair trade complaint against China on Tuesday for allegedly locking U.S. poultry exports out of the world’s second-largest economy, the latest action in a widening gulf between the two trading partners…. There’s a bigger issue at stake, said William Reinsch, president of the National Foreign Trade Council, which advocates free-trade policies. “While the complaint focuses correctly on the details of this particular case, it appears that the larger issue is the extent to which the Chinese actually conduct a fair, impartial, fact-based investigation versus the extent to which they use these cases – and determine the outcomes – based on achieving political or trade policy objectives of their own,” he said.
