They sure don’t mind Canada dumping raw logs into their country.
they would like to have all the raw logs from here and do the dissolving part themselves and then come and do the dumping themselves,
maybe it should be up to north america, to stop them from dumpping here,i just can’t imagine that in north america they can make dissolving pulp cheaper than in china, its just not possible, or maybe thats why those companies are having a hard time.
