where might your information come from? I dont see a source link
( i need to compare it to what i have, just to make sure my database is up to
date) just curious
because all i can find on my end, is Obama's stance on China, says this
Enforce existing safety laws against Chinese products
Q: What would you do in order to give the U.S. more leverage, to be able to deal with China at least as an equal partner? And are you willing to do that despite the consequences?
A: We have laws on the books now that aren't being enforced. This is what I mean in terms of us negotiating more effectively with them. Part of the problem is, is that the relationship has shifted over time. I would say toys cannot come in. We will have our own safety inspectors on the ground for food.
and
Insist on labor and human rights standards for China trade
The U.S. should be firm on issues that divide us [from the Beijing government] -like Taiwan-while flexible on issues that could unite us. We should insist on labor standards and human rights, the opening of Chinese markets fully to American goods, and the fulfillment of legal contracts with American businesses-but without triggering a trade war, as prolonged instability in the Chinese economy could have global economic consequences.
Source about 1/2 way down the page.
So it seems to me as if Mr. Obama is "batting for china" in a manner that says "play by the rules of equal labor and human rights, etc"
Just my take on his talk though.
