SENATE RESOLUTION: Chinese Currency Manipulation Resolution (Passed)

[Former President tack50]

Reading those articles I get to the opposite conclusion to Yankee, which adding to the fact that China in Atlasia's timeline is a weaker candidate makes me lean against the bill, though I am still undecided.

Explain.

The articles, in particular the 2nd one, seem fairly clear to me in saying China is not a manipulator?

But that is what I also said.

Ok nvm I am stupid and read your post as meaning the exact opposite of what you said lol

I am going to miss you being in the Senate.

How about shifting the purpose of this from currency manipulation to a more general statement about predatory trade practices by the Chinese?

[Former President tack50]

That seems like a good approach to me

[Senator-elect Spark]

That was my original intent.

2. Upon passage, The Republic of Atlasia will officially condemn China's "salami-slicing" practices in Asia.

Can someone explain to me how these practices work?

I think in light of the previous discussion, the second paragraphed on currency manipulation should be broaden to incorporate more general acts of trade practices.

Definitely would recommend amending the resolution to define this, because when I read "salami-slicing", I think of Peebs.

Well that wasn't the first thing in my mind but certainly, it needs to be defined. I am not familiar with the term myself even.

[Senator-elect Spark]

China's salami slicing practices basically entail using subversive tactics to expand their territorial claims by being the aggressor and then claiming self-defense when another nation retaliates.

SENATE RESOLUTION

To condemn the People's Republic of China in its currency manipulation and subversive actions in the Asia Pacific region

Be it Resolved in both Houses of Congress Assembled,

Section 1. Background

In flagrant violation of international law, the People's Republic of China has taken a series of actions that involve uses of force to instigate retaliation between its neighbors such as India. If no action is taken on the part of Atlasia, the two countries will be set on a path toward war. The purpose of this resolution is to condemn China's practices and tactics as it relates to their un-quenched desire for territorial expansion at the expense of the rest of the world.

As it relates to currency manipulation, China is able to set the value of its currency as it sees fit as it possesses a centrally-planned economy. This provides an unfair advantage to the People's Republic of China because the value of other nations' currency continues to fluctuate. By lowering the value of their currency, China gains an unfair advantage. While steps have been taken in recent years, the Republic of Atlasia shall monitor this activity closely to regain an international trade balance.

Section 2. Definition
1. Salami slicing practices entail using subversive tactics to expand their territorial claims by being the aggressor and then claiming self-defense when another nation retaliates.

Section 2. Adoption
1. The passage of this resolution will create a watch-list and add China as a member country
2. Upon passage, The Republic of Atlasia will officially condemn China's "salami-slicing" practices in Asia.

I'd like to propose this amendment.

Sponsor: Spark
Senate Designation: SB28:13

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Senators have 24 hours to object.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

That amendment is adopted.

We should rename this to reflect the more broad basis that we are heading for.

Something that references generalized trade practices as opposed to a specific one.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Any ideas for that broader name?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

You guys are so boring at times.

I often go for the most obscure reference I can get for bill titles so I might not be the best person to ask.
