HIGH POINT, N.C., May 5 (UPI) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton campaigned in a hard-hit furniture manufacturing town in North Carolina Monday, promising to get tough on Chinese trade practices.
The New York senator, seeking to make her mark with working class voters prior to her key confrontation with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary elections in North Carolina and Indiana, said in High Point, N.C., that she'd renegotiate trade agreements and fight China's manipulation of its currency and subsidies for domestic manufacturers.
"I will get tough on China because what they are doing is not right," Clinton said at a High Point train station, according to The (Raleigh) News & Observer.
The newspaper reported Clinton was accompanied by North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, who said, "I don't know about the rest of the candidates, but Hillary Clinton is not ready to surrender America's economy to China just yet."
The furniture industry in North Carolina's Triad area has lost thousands jobs since 2000, a situation has been blamed by the industry on competition from lower-priced, government-subsidized Chinese imports.
