- humanrebar 7y agoI was making a comment that "market" is a plural word. If it's a single entity involved, it is not a market. Even a discrete or organized set of entities is not a market. Accomadating, implicitly or explicitly, the Chinese government is not respecting or listening to a market because the Chinese government is not a market. This is a different kind of relationship to "people who buy iPhones" or "Canadians".
