                        SOLAR TARIFF SUSPENSION

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to call out China for its 
long history of predatory dumping and tariff avoidance.
  We have seen China cheat on this game before on everything from steel 
to autos to solar. It hurts American workers and American companies 
that I represent in Ohio.
  China is a nation that does not abide by global trading rules. Fair 
trading nations must apply strict scrutiny and appropriate penalties in 
response.
  I welcome the administration's focus on boosting manufacturing of 
critical solar components here in America. But we cannot encourage a 
tilting of the playing field that favors a country whose sinister trade 
practices have crushed the American middle class.
  Ohio's workers make and build the products that make and build 
America. Our Nation must respect them, as well as the innovative 
companies that are working to deliver America's energy independence in 
perpetuity.
  Let's champion free trade among free people.
