给选区国会议员关于中美贸易关系的信

利用周末，匆忙给选区议国会议员写了份反对中美联合声明的信。感谢Zoyawashington帮我修改完善。放弃版权，愿意给自己选区议员发信的，可以copy，但是要填写对自己选区议员的名字和自己名字

Dear (insert name or organization here),

I am xxx, a voter in your electoral district. Like many people living in this district, I am deeply troubled by the outcome of the trade negotiation with China. As a Chinese immigrant, I think I have a good understanding of both sides, and I want to share my thoughts with you  in hope you can pass these information to our government negotiation team.

First, I am concerned about our strategy against China  The main reason behind our trade deficit with China stems from the fact that China is NOT a market economy. Everything there is controlled by the government, including import and export. Our goal for ending the trade war shouldn’t be forcing Chinese government to buy more US goods  because they can easily promise to buy more today and break that promise tomorrow if it suits them. We won’t have much leverage against them when that happens. To make matters worse, our current strategy will empower Chinese government in the long run as we become increasingly dependent on their willingness to open their market. What we should do instead is to push China towards an open market. As long as we hold upper hand over China in term of the strength of economy, we have the opportunity to get it done. However we must act quickly and firmly as our lead is diminishing at an alarming rate.

Second, I am concerned that our leaders are deceived by the rosy promises made by Chinese government. I lived for almost 30 years in China and I knew from my personal experience that you simply can’t trust Chinese government.  Joined WTO in 2001, China didn’t deliver any measurable change on all of their key promises for the past 17 years. Instead of moving towards free market economy, Chinese government now has even bigger control over its economy and every aspect of life there.  That is supported by the unfortunate fact: private companies in the US and around the world have been losing to Chinese state-run firms because no private company can compete against the Chinese government. US might be the only country in the world with the strength to standup against China and I don’t how much longer we can hold on to that position.

Last but not the least,  I am concerned that our trade team is not aware of the strategy used by Chinese government. What the Chinese government is doing now is simply buying time for themselves so they can break their words again in the near future.  They are banking on the fact that president Trump isn’t very popular among Americans and American allies, they think it is very possible the upcoming midterm election and 2020 president election will lead to a major changes in US  policies. When that happens, they will quickly revert their course and continue to take the advantage of US and the rest of the free world. By then, we will have very few means to fight back and will start to lose to china again.

If you believe Chinese government is the evil vampire praying on the free world, then US is the last line of defense for this world and our way of life, and NOW is our best chance to contain this blood thirsty vampire before it  grows stronger.

Please share my concerns with the members of your legislation and re-consider our position related to the ongoing trade negotiations.
