US Treasury Urged to Block China's Tariff Evasion, Tech Subsidy Access via Investments

Reports indicate China is actively circumventing U.S. tariff systems and accessing American technology subsidies. This strategy involves direct investments in U.S. firms, effectively bypassing trade barriers designed to protect domestic industries. Analysts suggest that this approach allows Chinese-linked entities to benefit from U.S. government support intended for American companies. Consequently, there are growing calls for the U.S. Treasury Department to intervene decisively. The Treasury is urged to implement measures that prevent firms with Chinese ties from accessing these critical U.S. tech subsidies. Such intervention would aim to safeguard U.S. economic interests and ensure the integrity of its trade and subsidy policies.
