Shaun, I know from the LinkedIn Economist Group that you personally are not for tariffs. However, the Chinese Communist Party is not made up of free-traders named Shaun Rein. They believe in predatory mercantilism.

http://on.wsj.com/v49RHH What is surprising about the Chinese Hacking the US Chamber of Commerce Computers in the WSJ is that the Chamber of Commerce carries water for China by advocating for offshore outsourcing and against tariffs on imports.
