Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill addresses unfair trade practices by China through two main mechanisms. First, it requires the Treasury Secretary to submit a strategy for ensuring China complies with OECD export credit standards (rules that prevent governments from unfairly subsidizing their exporters). Second, it strengthens criteria for determining if China is manipulating its currency and imposes consequences at the International Monetary Fund if such manipulation is found.
Who Benefits and How
American exporters and domestic manufacturers benefit from reduced unfair competition from Chinese government-subsidized exports. U.S. financial regulators gain clearer authority to identify and respond to Chinese currency manipulation. American workers in export-competing industries benefit from a more level playing field.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Chinese government faces increased scrutiny of its export credit practices and currency policies. China could lose voting power at the IMF if found to be manipulating its currency. The Treasury Department has increased reporting and negotiation obligations with allies.
Key Provisions
- Treasury must submit a detailed strategy within 180 days to ensure China complies with OECD export credit arrangements
- Sets a goal to eliminate government-subsidized export financing within 10 years
- Expands criteria for determining currency manipulation to include sectoral subsidies and IMF obligations
- Blocks any IMF quota increase for China for one year following a currency manipulation finding
