Mitt Romney penned an op-ed today in the Washington Post, where he went after China and put them on notice as to what they can expect in a Romney Presidency. NO MORE, will America accept the short end of the trading stick:

That includes unilateral actions such as increased enforcement of U.S. trade laws, punitive measures targeting products and industries that rely on misappropriations of our intellectual property, reciprocity in government procurement, and countervailing duties against currency manipulation. It also includes multilateral actions to block technology transfers into China and to create a trading bloc open only for nations genuinely committed to free trade.
