China to Target Trump's Base in Tariff Response

March 21, 2018, The Wall Street Journal

Timothy Stratford is quoted by The Wall Street Journal in an article regarding plans by China to impose tariffs in response to President Trump's punitive measures. According to Stratford, the current trade environment could prompt U.S. companies to reconsider the long-term importance of the Chinese market. “Gradually we may feel compelled to diversify until China is not as big a part of our business plans anymore,” says Stratford. “These are some really strategic questions that companies are going to have to start thinking about.”
