> I disagree. There are several considerations here [...] Sorry for the poor wording, I was referring to China/US reciprocity being a more complicated issue than whether TikTok can be banned or not. The former will never be resolved, while the latter will just be a court case. > It's not. It's a core part of trade agreements, so much so that China needed a special dispensation in their WTO entry to avoid reciprocity requirements. I was mistaken about what reciprocity represents, and you're right, it is a core part of trade agreements, and a term of art meaning something more precise than the general understanding of it. TIL. I'm looking at this as a primer: https://u.osu.edu/aede/2019/01/25/what-does-reciprocity-in-trade-negotiations-actually-mean/ https://u.osu.edu/aede/2019/01/25/what-does-reciprocity-in-t... But I couldn't find anything related to reciprocity regarding the entry of China to the WTO [0]. Even going through the report [1] it's just about China needing to open it's economy and accept foreign investment, including reworking it's IP laws and other pretty deep changes.
