To withdraw normal trade relations treatment from the products of the People's Republic of China, to provide for a balanced trade relationship between that country and the United States, and for other purposes.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Emergency China Trade Act of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States and the People's Republic of China 
        are among the world's largest economies and are among the 
        world's largest producers and consumers of goods.
            (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China has 
        pursued an international trade policy that violates its 
        obligations as a member of the World Trade Organization and 
        other international organizations, which has resulted in a 
        perpetual, historically high trade imbalance with the United 
        States that threatens the stability of the global economy.
            (3) As members of both the World Trade Organization and the 
        International Monetary Fund, the People's Republic of China has 
        assumed a series of international legal obligations to 
        eliminate all subsidies for exports and to facilitate 
        international trade. The People's Republic of China has failed 
        to do so.
            (4) The Chinese Government continues to maintain control 
        over the decisions of Chinese enterprises through ownership, 
        board membership, and coercion.
            (5) The Chinese Government, directly and indirectly, 
        facilitates unfair requirements for coproduction agreements 
        between United States companies and Chinese entities.
            (6) Since 1994, the People's Republic of China has 
        repeatedly intervened in currency markets and taken measures 
        that have significantly misaligned the value of its currency 
        against the United States dollar and other currencies. This 
        policy by the People's Republic of China has resulted in 
        substantial undervaluation of the renminbi by up to 40 percent 
        or more.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a persistent trade deficit with the People's Republic 
        of China is harmful to the long-term health of the United 
        States economy and must be corrected; and
            (2) the President should begin immediate, expedited 
        negotiations with the People's Republic of China that are 
        designed to eliminate the trade deficit within 4 years.

SEC. 4. WITHDRAWAL OF NORMAL TRADE RELATIONS TREATMENT FROM THE 
              PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

enactment of this Act--
            (1) normal trade relations treatment shall not apply to the 
        products of the People's Republic of China, and normal trade 
        relations treatment may not thereafter be extended to the 
        products of that country; and
            (2) the column 2 rate of duty under the Harmonized Tariff 
        Schedule of the United States shall apply to the products of 
        the People's Republic of China.

                implementing legislation after it has been reported by 
                the appropriate committee shall be treated as highly 
                privileged in the House of Representatives.
                    (B) In the senate.--Implementing legislation 
                submitted under paragraph (1) shall be considered in

basis.
