Chad Hart, associate professor, was interviewed by China Daily March 30, 2018, for the story "China's ethanol demand remains strong."

"For the 53 billion dollars in products that the U.S. is putting a tariff on that come from China, that represents about ten percent of all the trade we do with China," said Dr. Hart. "When you look at the 53 billion dollars` worth of trade that China`s putting tariffs on, that represents almost 40 percent of what we ship to them. I think when you're talking about double-digit numbers there, yeah you`re in the realm of a trade war."
