A day after losing Wisconsin, White House hopeful Hillary Clinton unleashed a blistering critique of China while campaigning Wednesday in blue-collar Pennsylvania, warning the Asian giant must “toe the line” if she becomes president.

The eastern US state, where organized labor is an influential force, hosts its presidential primaries on April 26.

“China illegally dumps cheap products in our markets, steals our trade secrets, plays games with their currency, gives unfair advantages to state-owned-enterprises and discriminates against American companies,” she said.

“We will throw the book at China for their illegal actions.”

“I’ve gone toe to toe with China’s top leaders on some of the toughest issues we face, from cyber attacks to human rights to climate change to trade and more,” she said.

“I know how they operate, and they know if I’m president, they’re going to have to toe the line, because we’re going to once and for all get fair treatment, or they’re not going to get access to our markets.”

At one point she refered to China as “the biggest abuser of global trade.”

1. BWAAAHHAHHAAA, her and drumpf should join forces

And shake their fingers at China

Oh they will "toe the line" when Herself is crowned. The line that leads right to the Clinton slush fund deposit window.

2. They really should

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. Uh-oh, China better get ready ...

... to make some serious donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Or give Bill some hella speaking fees.

That'll teach'em.

23. She'll tell China to "cut it out!"

[SoLeftIAmRight]

26. yep - "cut it out"

4. Most Honered Secatary Clinton

I hope you are just kidding. Because we still have transaction numbers and routing for the millions we funneled into you and your Husbands defense fund. I would hate them to wind up in wrong hands.

Love, Jiang Zemin

6. Better make that leak go through encrypted

[geek tragedy]

11. Nothing racist about this post, nope. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

14. Here you go again, posting without thought. Please identity the racism, unless it's to intimidate.

[geek tragedy]

15. try saying the subject line out loud, keeping in mind it's supposed

to be a Chinese person talking.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. That would be true if the whole post contained such phraseology, since it doesn't, subjective.

[geek tragedy]

17. the subject line was enough, but if you're willing to give that shit a pass,

I can't convince you to find it objectionable

[TheBlackAdder]

21. If half of the comments you wrote weren't fugazi and ill-thought, I'd be more receptive.

There are times when you have lucid poli-sci posts, showing promise, and others where they are just out there.

Unfortunately, the later prevails.

25. how does your opinion of me affect your willingness to tolerate racist crap? nt

[PowerToThePeople]

5. Does she realize who is actually pulling the strings?

US Corporate executives and wall street are the ones who are responsible. Them and the elected representatives who passed the laws allowing it to happen without repercussions.

They no longer care. They all got rich.

Fuck them.

[Avalux]

8. Of course she does. She's betting the voters she's speaking to are stupid. n/t

[PowerToThePeople]

9. I agree. n/t

[Avalux]

7. She's going to throw the book at them, just like she told Wall Street to knock it off!

[ViseGrip]

10. Is this a joke?

The sarcasm thingy is missing here....

[pdsimdars]

12. Wait, I thought it was Bernie who was supposed to be the one who would reverse all Obama's stuff

And Hillary would be the one to carry on his legacy.

Oh wait, I'm sorry, that was a few weeks ago when she needed to say that to win the AA vote in the south. . . as soon as that was over she started disagreeing with all of his positions. My bad. I just get confused with all the reversals in her positions, I mean, with her constant, continual, opportunistic "evolution" on every issue.

13. Probably continuing Obama's policy of confronting China in the WTO

which he has done relentlessly. He has not and I doubt Hillary or Bernie will act unilaterally against China or anyone else. Trump, OTOH, doesn't like international agreements much and may just go off on China.

Romney lost, and it was Romney supporters who were most supportive of the next president confronting China. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans backed getting tougher with Beijing, up 11 percentage points in just a year. Democrats, on the other hand, prioritized building stronger economic relations with China (53%) over getting tougher with China (39%). Democrats’ backing for confrontation was up 6 points since 2011, but it remained the minority sentiment among those in Obama’s party.

Likely components of the administration's economic policy towards China:

The first will likely be more complaints about Chinese subsidies and trade practices filed with the WTO, given the president’s campaign promises and his record during his first term. Washington has been relatively successful with such cases in the past, and pursuing multilateral dispute settlements has the added advantage of avoiding a direct bilateral confrontation with China.

The second will be the pursuit of trade agreements that notably do not include China. The most important of these is the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement among a growing list of nations bordering the Pacific. It is the Obama administration’s avowed aim to construct a TPP with standards so high — especially rules regarding behavior by state-owned enterprises — that China could never join without transforming its economic system. This stance in part reflects the fact that two-thirds (67%) of the U.S. public believe China practices unfair trade, according to a 2012 survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

The Obama administration is unlikely to label China a currency manipulator, which is something Mitt Romney promised he would do on his first day in office. In Obama’s first term, the White House had multiple opportunities to do so and declined, even though the renminbi was weaker against the dollar than it is now.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. I think they threw the book at her, the checkbook. n/t

[Ferd Berfel]

20. I wonder if anyone will buy it - LOL

She's gonna be reeeealy tough on her Corporate masters.
Might make em pay double for her speeches




Seriously, once she re-triangulates on TPP none of this will matter. Only perceived Corporate profits will matter.

[CanadaexPat]

22. She's gone toe-to-toe - and they still do it.

Sounds like we need someone else.

[Barack_America]

24. Raise your hand if you believe a word of this.

Anyone?

[RiverLover]

27. Until they give $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation

Like Saudi Arabia did.

[KPN]

28. You are right in your post title

and Hillary would have hammered Bernie for trashing Obama had he said the same thing -- as she has already done many times in her attempts to look all in for blacks.
