China's Trade Abuses Continue, Despite US Warning - Robert E. Lighthizer updates his March 2018 504-page trade barrier report

Yes, the report title is boring 

but I enjoy reading this stuff,

so you won't have to ... 

Below is a link 

to the report

in case you

can't fall asleep 

one night:

"UPDATE CONCERNING CHINA’S ACTS, POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND INNOVATION"

November 20, 2018

I'll summarize this update

in the January - February 2019 

ECONOMIC LOGIC

newsletter.

It is an update of the 

first Lighthizer report,

which was a 

primary source 

for my July - August 2018 

feature article, where I wrote:

"The source of the data that follow is the 2018 National Trade Estimate Report on FOREIGN TRADE BARRIERS, presented by Ambassador Robert E. Lighthizer, Office of the United States Trade Representative, March 2018

This 504-page pdf file report classifies foreign trade barriers, by nation, in ten different categories. Barriers are government-imposed measures and policies that restrict, prevent, or impede the international exchange of goods and services:"

Here's a summary

of the November 20, 2018 update

in case you can't wait:

   China's Trade Abuses Continue 

         Despite US Warning

"This update shows that China has not fundamentally altered its unfair, unreasonable, and market-distorting practices that were the subject of the March 2018 report on our Section 301 investigation," Lighthizer said.

"Despite repeated U.S. engagement efforts and international admonishments of its trade technology transfer policies, China did not respond constructively and failed to take any substantive actions to address U.S. concerns."
