“I support PNTR for China because it will seal the deal on the U.S.- China Bilateral Agreement and finally allow U.S. business and farmers the access to Chinese markets that the Chinese have to our market. In other words, America has had a relatively open market to China while China's market has been, for all intents and purposes, closed--except by category and by definition. Passage of PNTR will help pave the way for China's eventual membership in the World Trade Organization. This deal cuts the barriers to trade that U.S. farmers and businesses have unfairly encountered for decades. It serves Idaho because it slashes tariffs on exports critical to Idaho's economy.”
