So I agree with you that China is a bad actor, and that we cannot let their devious behavior go unchecked.
I am proud that President Trump has been one of the first Presidents to stand up to these unfair trade practices.
We know that just sitting around blathering hasn't worked for 25 or 30 years, so we have to try something new.
But I have real concerns with the way the Administration has approached the problem, creating and escalating a trade war that has caused harm to many businesses.
