WASHINGTON: Democratic Presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton's recent hardline stance on outsourcing were mainly directed against China rather than India, her top aide has said.
"Her primary language has been directed towards China. Obviously, she talks about China all the time. I've never heard her in fairness, talk about (outsourcing) in the context of India," Terry McAuliffe, Chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign and one of her closest confidant said in an interview to 'India Abroad' newspaper.
"... We are going to rid the tax code of these loopholes and giveaways. We're going to stop giving a penny of your money to anybody who ships a job out of Texas, Ohio or anywhere else to another country," Clinton had said during a recent debate with Obama at University of Texas in Austin.
McAuliffe, the former Chair of the Democratic National Committee also brushed aside the notion that Clinton was pandering to the labour unions on the issue of outsourcing.
"What she has said, is she will negotiate, she wants trade deals, she thinks they are important to build bilateral economic relationships. She will negotiate fair, but tough trade deals. She is a full believer that we've got to build jobs here, in this country," he said.
He said: "We've got to be competitive, but if people can come in or people that can bring products in and if it's a better product at a better price, then we have to be competitive, and that's not the fault of the country that's bringing it in.
