Democrat urges tougher stance on trade with China
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States needs to get tougher on trade with China, a top Democrat said Wednesday after his party won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in congressional elections.

"I don't think the administration has taken up any issue with the Chinese," Rep. Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat, told reporters. "We should insist if they are going to trade with us it's going to be fair trade."

Rangel, who is poised to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was an improvement over his predecessor, John Snow, when it came to China trade.

But "we have not been tough enough with those nations that continue to dump goods" in the United States, Rangel said.
