China came in for harsh criticism in Congress Thursday because of economic policies that several lawmakers said harm America’s workers.
Sen. Lindsey Graham charged that Beijing is a “government without a conscience,” intent on manipulating its currency to the detriment of American producers. The South Carolina Republican, a persistent critic of China’s policies, also asserted the country allows widespread piracy of copyrighted U.S. goods and abuses its citizens.
Graham, who travels to China on Sunday, said he will tell high-ranking leaders that “they make it exceedingly difficult” to encourage business and political ties with the United States.
Mentioning charges that China manipulates the Internet to suppress dissent, Graham asked, “How can you have a constructive, productive relationship with a government that fears its own people?”
