Opinion: Make China pay for its polluting advantage

November 27, 2023

I have never read a more pro-China, pro-Russia, anti-American editorial in the Journal than the one regarding my Foreign Pollution Fee Act (“Republicans for a Carbon Tax,” Nov. 20). The FPFA seeks to recognize the challenges U.S. manufacturers and workers face by placing a tariff on excess Chinese emissions. It puts the U.S. on equal footing with Chinese manufacturers who cheat and pollute to gain a competitive advantage.
