> unlike the US
The US is not a master piece of freedom. Want to market or own foreign shares? Want to travel to Cuba? Have you gone through the crazy US border control process as a foreigner?
Yes, China is absolutely worse. But the US is not a good example.
- kelnos 2y agoI never claimed the US was perfect, just better. I think using it as an example is fine. No country is perfect by any metric; everything is a matter of comparison over who is better or worse on a particular thing. > Want to market or own foreign shares? ADRs work for that, no? > Want to travel to Cuba? Have you gone through the crazy US border control process as a foreigner? I agree those things are bad, but they have nothing to do with market access, which is the topic at hand.
