    China’s idea of free trade is unilateral: it’s them being free to export. They’re massively protectionist within China, mainly through non-tariff barriers such as arbitrary regulation.

      Can confirm!

      I work in an industry that has to sell devices in China, and the hoops our clients have to jump through just to submit for approval are numerous.

          I’m referring to the current president-elect of the US having the emotional maturity, intellect, and personality of Eric Cartman lol
