The fact that anybody could point fingers at the US for making it difficult for China to do business here is absurd. China is one of the most hostile protectionist economies. The US has never done anything that even approaches how difficult it is for a foreign business to trade in China.
I’m quite a strong advocate for free trade. But if a country has locked you out of their market, I don’t think you should give them easy access to yours.

- Fnoord 6y agoWhether an eye for eye works is a matter for debate. As for US, FISA courts, NSLs etc were a worry when AMS-IX wanted to start a subsidiary in NY, USA. The argument "what about ..." or "they are worse" isn't strong.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoAn eye for an eye isn’t really relevant. If a country is manipulating its markets, and denying another country access to them, then the country that is denied fair access is putting its own economy at risk. A US business cannot be expected to fairly compete with a Chinese business, and trade barriers are a perfectly reasonable response to that. Regarding the US intelligence apparatus. It’s a threat to the liberty of US citizens. But it’s not a threat to US national security.
