Decoding U.S.-China Trade 

By Jeremy Haft

Though arguably the most advanced economy in the world, the United States still uses centuries-old numbers to measure trade.  These antique numbers mangle understanding of the U.S.-China trade relationship, shrinking America’s true economic size and competitiveness while swelling China’s.  Bad numbers give rise to bad policies that ultimately kill U.S. jobs and cede market share to China.  What other tools can the United States employ to counter China’s unfair trade practices?  There are several available, yet they remain mostly unused. 

This program will be held in the Chapel at St. John’s UU Church, 320 Resor Ave., Clifton, from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. Brown bag lunches are welcome to be eaten while we watch the DVD together before the discussion.

If you did not purchase a briefing book in the fall and would like to do the same background reading as many others in the group, you can order one from the Foreign Policy Association, www.fpa.org. If not, try to do some research on the topic before coming.  No registration is necessary.
