You can expect Robin Hayes to be crowing tomorrow about a trade agreement with China that his office helped write. The deal limits the increase each year that China s textile exports to the US can increase. The good Representative s been involved in the negotiations because his district North Carolina s 8th has been hard hit by textile competition from China.
Here s what Hayes won t tell you: The trade agreement gives much more to China than it saves for North Carolina.
China entered the WTO under an understanding that if there were to be a supply spike, other WTO members could cap the growth of imports from China at 7.5% per year. Well, right now there s a supply spike. But the new trade agreement is an even worse deal for North Carolina workers than the already-agreed-on 7.5% cap.
