Kagen Asks Chinese Ambassador To Share Our Values
(WASHINGTON, DC) — Joined by a number of fellow lawmakers, Congressman Steve Kagen, M.D. met yesterday with Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in the United States Zhou Wenzhong and urged him to support measures to make trade between their two nation freer and more balanced.
“I welcomed the opportunity to express our concerns about trade,” Kagen said. “I expressed in the strongest terms possible that what we need is balanced trade, not free trade.”
Kagen said Northeast Wisconsin is concerned that Communist China is dumping illegal paper into the domestic marketplace.
“The Chinese Ambassador and I had a frank discussion,” Kagen said. “I let him know that we cannot afford to continue to ship our jobs overseas to Asia. We must have balanced trade and ship our values overseas — not our jobs.”
