Importing from China

China is America’s largest trading partner. Goods imports from China totaled 462.8 billion dollars in 2016. This anthology explores issues related to importing from China. It contains a diverse collection of essays, written by leading authorities in their respective fields. Taken together, they offer a wide array of views on issues such as the trade deficit and the safety of Chinese products. Disparate viewpoints of complex issues are encapsulated in each chapter with the use of a question-and-response format. Readers will analyze whether trade with China benefits the United States, whether imports from China are safe, whether the U.S./China trade deficit threatens the U.S. economy, and whether the U.S. should toughen trade policies with China.
