This report is critical of the protectionist trade policies of China, and attempts to pressurise China to open up its markets and allow the liberalisation of trade, subject to World Trade Organisation rules. We voted against this report due to the disastrous and pernicious consequences of free trade, which have left countries with weaker economies unable to defend their trade interests and productive sectors. We advocate an external trade policy based not on competitiveness, but on complementarity and cooperation.
