| 0:00.0 | This is John Batcher speaking with Alan Tannelson, our trade guru, about the Chinese dumping of |
| 0:08.1 | B.Y.D. E.S. in America and Europe. |
| 0:11.8 | There is also an issue of Chinese using subterfuge to move its over |
| 0:17.8 | capacity for steel and aluminum. Alan here describes how it's done, using Canada as a trans shipping spot, fooling no one or maybe |
| 0:29.1 | fooling everyone, unknown. Alan Talison describing how China, quite ignoring the insistence of countries to stop |
| 0:40.8 | dumping your material into our market, subsidized material, is attempting or actually |
| 0:49.1 | managing to evade tariffs, evade scrutiny of the U.S. and Canadian government. |
| 0:56.0 | More of this later tonight. |
| 0:59.0 | One problem, and this comes that according to |
| 1:05.0 | that according to Canada aluminum is that is that according to steel industry people that I speak to regularly, the Canadians have not done such a great job on stopping or even limiting China or even limiting the transshipment of Chinese made steel from Canada into the United States, |
| 1:27.0 | which is to say that the Chinese send their steel to Canada, but it's not consumed there. |
| 1:33.7 | The various importers repackage it, |
| 1:37.0 | put a made in Canada label on it, |
| 1:40.3 | and ship it over to the United States. |
| 1:42.4 | And this kind of trans shipment has been a huge concern for all sorts of Chinese |
| 1:48.0 | products. It's kind of difficult to spot but at the same time I think it's fair to say that the various |
| 1:55.7 | customs authorities in the country's concerned haven't exactly been Johnny on |
| 2:01.1 | the spot on this problem either. |
