For years, Chinese-linked solar producers have stayed one step ahead of US trade enforcement. Now, far-reaching new measures aim to catch up with China’s shifting supply chain. https://t.co/XDr7AyDRI9

When the neoliberals told us, "don't worry about China, they are only making the low-value things we don't want to make here anyway," we pushed back. That was 25 years ago. Now look at what has happened. https://t.co/z1VFGmBcv2 via @WSJ

How do we keep U.S. factories growing? Close USMCA loopholes. Keep Chinese autos out with the Connected Vehicle Security Act. Strengthen and modernize trade enforcement. Invest in our shipbuilding supply chain. WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO!

...A new report suggests Amazon and Walmart's shopping chatbots can spot misleading labels but aren't using that capability to help shoppers find authentic American made products.

If AI can identify false "Made in USA" claims, should online marketplaces use it to protect consumers?

Walmart and Amazon’s AI Chatbots Can Spot ‘Made in USA’ Fraud, But They’re Not Doing Anything About It!
