“This tariff action is both overdue and directly in line with bipartisan recommendations in the Select Committee’s economic policy report in December. We must act with urgency to further reduce dependence on the PRC and prevent a surge in Chinese exports from decimating U.S. industry and workers and undermining our national security. Congress and the Administration must be ready to work in a bipartisan manner to strengthen our economy while supporting American farmers and workers who face retaliation from the CCP.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party introduced the Restoring Trade Fairness Act today, a bill that would revoke China’s Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR). In 2000, as China prepared to enter the WTO, Congress voted to extend PNTR status to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), hoping that the Chinese Communist Party would liberalize and adopt fair trading practices. Achieving PNTR status meant that the Chinese state-run economy received preferential tariff treatment under U.S. law, opening the door for the mass influx of products made in the communist nation. This gamble failed.

The Chairman welcomed both the tariffs, that went into effect at midnight, and the closing of the "de minimis" loophole that allowed goods valued at under $800 to enter the country without inspections or duties. Last year, the Select Committee issued a report highlighting how abuse of "de minimis" allowed companies such as Shein and Temu to flood American markets with products, often produced through slave labor, and cost Americans their jobs.
