Statement of policy

It is the policy of the United States that— (1) as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to extend its economic and military influence in the Indo-Pacific region, fair trade and economic policies in the Indo-Pacific are vitally important to United States leadership; (2) the United States Government should fully enforce the terms set forth in the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (as such term is defined in the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement Act; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note); (3) the United States Government should also use enforcement tools such as the authorities provided by section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411; relating to actions by the United States Trade Representative) where necessary to ensure that foreign countries do not impose discriminatory digital policies that disfavor United States companies; and (4) the United States Government should also use enforcement tools such as the authorities provided by section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2411; relating to actions by the United States Trade Representative) where necessary to ensure that foreign countries do not use targeted enforcement measures, including office raids and threats of prosecution that discriminate against or unfairly disadvantage United States firms.
