Romney sharpens attack on China’s economic policies
Romney, who is to address Microsoft Corp employees at its
Redmond, Washington, headquarters, said the United States
should impose duties and tariffs on Chinese goods, and block
the transfer of some technology, if the Beijing continues these
practices.He outlined a similar tough stance on China last month, as
he sought to stake out differences with President Barack Obama
and tap into the U.S. public’s rising concern over China’s
economic and military growth.Romney is a leader among Republicans seeking the nomination
to run against Obama in 2012. But fewer than one in four of the
party’s voters back him as a surging Herman Cain gains ground,
according to a released on Wednesday.
