International trade promotes individual and economic freedom at home and abroad.
By supporting PNTR, you are demonstrating your support for American consumers, farmers, and business owners. Without PNTR, Chinese products sold in the U.S. would be subject to tariff increases ranging upwards of 40 percent. As a result, American consumers would be forced to pay higher prices for hundreds of everyday goods. PNTR with China would save American jobs, help Americans afford consumer goods, and reinforce U.S. influence in China. It is this last benefit that provides Chinese citizens a foundation for economic, individual, and political freedom.
