Not really... you are out in left field here. The fundamental rule of international trade regulation is reciprocity within classes of goods and services. It flies in the face of basic WTO principles to allow one partner to ban a whole host of services without reciprocal penalties. In practice, this sort of reciprocity gets broken all the time, but it doesn't make sense to say "we don't want to mirror other countries" when in trade policy, mirroring is a basic mandate of the WTO framework.
- uniqueuid 4y agoSorry but you're ignoring media regulation here, which is a completely domestic playbook and for the most part explicitly carved out of trade agreements. For protection of domestic civic society, culture and public opinion, trade agreements are irrelevant. That's how the french got to keep their quota for french-language music in broadcasting, for example.
