White House Accused of Misrepresenting Chinese Transshipment Claims
A recent paper by the White House has been criticized for its claims of a Chinese transshipment scam, with many countries being accused of abetting the plot to dodge American tariffs.
The White House has been accused of making an "absurd claim" regarding a Chinese transshipment scam. The claim, made in a paper titled "The Great Transshipment Scam", suggests that dozens of countries, including Japan and Jordan, are involved in a Chinese plot to dodge American tariffs.
The paper, published by Peter Navarro's office in the White House, is seen as a reflection of the Trump administration's "muddled thinking on trade". Critics argue that the claim is absurd and that the paper fails to understand the reasons behind the tariffs.
High tariffs on Chinese goods have had predictable effects, with many countries looking for ways to avoid them. The paper's claims of a Chinese transshipment scam are seen as an attempt to shift the blame for the tariffs onto other countries.
