“I’ve listened to Donald as he’s bashed China, oh he’s going to really tough on China,” Clinton said. “He’s been buying cheap Chinese aluminum and steel, not buying here in Pennsylvania, not supporting our workers, but the Chinese.

“These stories keep coming out don’t they, and every one makes the same point,” she added. “They add up to clearly stating that Donald Trump is the poster boy for so much of what is wrong in our economy.”

Clinton's comments referenced an investigation from Newsweek published Monday that found that Trump's companies purchased materials from China instead of from American manufacturers in Rust Belt states on some construction projects.

Trump in his campaign has attacked companies that outsource jobs abroad and accused the Obama administration of letting China cheat the United States. Trump has vowed to get tough with China on trade and accused Beijing of currency manipulation.

Clinton and Trump are both seeking to win over voters in Rust Belt states, including Pennsylvania.

Trump has hit U.S. companies that have moved jobs abroad, accusing Clinton and President Obama of not protecting American workers.

Clinton has hit back by trying to paint Trump as a risky pick whose polcies could throw the American economy into recession.

At Tuesday's rally, Clinton again raised a recent New York Times story that questioned whether Trump could have avoided paying taxes for up to 18 years after declaring a nearly billion dollar loss in 1995
