Taiwan in the Trade Crosshairs: What the 301 Investigation means to U.S. Taiwan Relations
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the U.S. Trade Representative's 301 Investigation on Taiwan and its relations with the U.S.
Section 301 of the U-S Trade Act of 1974 is a broad tool which authorizes the sitting U.S. President to negotiate trade agreements, reduce tariffs, and combat unfair foreign trade practices. In mid-March, the U.S. Trade Representative's office put Taiwan on two 301-related lists: one for failing to take action over structural excess capacity , and the other, for failing to take action over accusations of false labor . International Trade attorney James Ransdell explains the regulation, and how it is being used against traditional U-S allies today. Hosted by I.C.R.T's Hope Ngo. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
