Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama Admin Files WTO Challenge to Chinese Auto Subsidies

HeadlineSep 18, 2012

The Obama administration has filed a challenge at the World Trade Organization accusing China of unfairly subsidizing its auto and auto-parts industries. Announcing the move during a campaign stop in Ohio, President Obama took a shot at Republican rival Mitt Romney.

President Obama: “He made money investing in companies that uprooted from here and went to China — pioneers. Now, Ohio, you can’t stand up to China when all you’ve done is sent them our jobs. Today, my administration is launching a new action against China, this one against illegal subsidies that encourage companies to ship auto part manufacturing jobs overseas. These are subsidies that directly harm working men and women on the assembly lines in Ohio and Michigan and across the Midwest.”
