• U.S. Reimposes Import Quotas On China

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration announced Thursday that it was reimposing import quotas on two types of Chinese clothing and textiles, intensifying trade tensions between the two nations in advance of a White House visit next week by China's president. The administration said that it would limit imports of fabric made with synthetic filament threads as well as bras, girdles, panty girdles and corsets in response to a surge in shipments that have battered the U.S. industry.

Until recently, Dobbins' firm operated 17 textile plants within a short drive of its Maiden, N.C., headquarters and employed 2,600 workers. But those plants have dwindled as customers went out of business, anticipating the expiration of the decades-old quotas on Jan. 1.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States will bring trade cases against China to determine whether quotas should be re-imposed to protect textile and clothing manufacturers against a surge in Chinese imports, the Bush administration said Monday. The decision represents a major victory for U.S. manufacturers, who had been pressing the administration to bring these cases on its own rather than waiting for the industry to petition the government for relief, a process that could take a longer period of time.
