Features: The United States is one of the most stringent and vigorous countries in the world in regulating foreign trade relations. The laws it has formulated in the field of foreign trade are also highly detailed, providing meticulous protection for the interests of the United States. The author has conducted in-depth research on the United States' foreign trade laws. The materials the author has mastered in this work are very rich, and the cited books and articles are particularly extensive. The sixth chapter of this work, "U.S. Trade Law 301 Clause and China," and the "Conclusion" of this book are very important, as they record the practical application of the Chinese government's foreign trade laws. This book can be summarized in the following aspects: enhancing the power of the U.S. President to take retaliatory measures against so-called unfair and unreasonable trade measures of foreign countries without regard to international obligations; transferring the final decision-making power to take strong measures to the trade representative institution involving the U.S. Congress; increasing and improving the procedure for investigating cases before the trade representative makes a decision, and clarifying it as a time-limited mandatory legal procedure; expanding the regulation of foreign trade laws to almost all trade sectors, including investment, trade in services, intellectual property, etc.; and triggering the Super 301 clause procedure for "priority countries" and "priority actions" that the U.S. trade representative believes are detrimental to U.S. exports.
