Every nation has protectionism.
Yes, that's my point. Not every one agrees with this and GGP's comment doesn't mention this fact.
So pointing out examples [..] contributes little to the discussion.
It adds examples of US protectionism so you can compare them with the ones from China that were mentioned before. Hopefully, this contributes to a more objective point of view. Why do I need to justify this?
- argonaut 10y agoBecause China's space program and defense industry are protected as well. So if we're really going to try to decide whether China or the US are more protectionist than the other, in that comparison the examples cancel each other out. All you've done is add examples to both sides of the balance beam. And we're still left with examples of Chinese internet industry protectionism.
