US prepared to use domestic trade tools strategically to achieve a more level playing field with China

China has “fallen far short of implementing its commitments to purchase US goods and services in 2020 and 2021,” the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports, citing a report from an Office of the US Trade Representative to Congress.

“To the extent that China’s unfair, nonmarket and distortive policies and practices persist, the United States is prepared to use domestic trade tools strategically as needed in order to achieve a more level playing field with China for US workers and businesses,” the report said.
