Though the current administration did quote
Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974
(last edition March 23, 2018)
(Pub.L. 93–618, 19 U.S.C. § 2411)
“Section 301 authorizes the President to take all appropriate action, including tariff-based and non-tariff-based retaliation, to obtain the removal of any act, policy, or practice of a foreign government that violates an international trade agreement or is unjustified, unreasonable, or discriminatory, and that burdens or restricts U.S. commerce.“
The tariff policy makes sense and is necessary for response to PRChina’s (CCP’s) extensive intellectual property rights infringement and forced technology transfer policies.
但現任政府確實有引用
1974年 美國貿易法 第301條
(最新版本 2018年3月23日)
(Pub.L. 93–618, 19 U.S.C. § 2411)
“301條款授權總統採取所有適當行動(包括報復措施或制裁行動), 以使外國政府撤銷任何不公正、不合理、差別待遇、或是違反國際貿易協定, 而對美國商業發展造成負擔與限制的當地法令、政策或慣例。”
關稅政策合理且存在必要性, 以應對中共廣泛的知識產權侵權及其強制性技術轉讓政策。
The World Trade Organization said that U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods violate international rules, undermining President Donald Trump’s trade war against Beijing that’s seen Washington put tariffs on more than $550 billion of China’s exports, Bloomberg News reports.
