Name a country where this doesn't occur. The US is not the only country in the world by a long shot that doesn't take measures to protect their failing corporations or export products.
> The same stealing accusation they level at China.
Well they've leveled the accusation against China and nothing changed. So what should the United States do? Continue to let it happen or do something about it? Unfortunately global fair/free trade requires all participants to participate in good faith. If the second largest economy is going to actively undermine that system it just won't work.

Hell, depending on how you define successor states. I could make a good argument that neither is actually China. I would be wrong, but could make a good go at it.
- snailmailstare 2y agoThe US spent a long time arguing for globalization and free trade, proposing all the treaties, etc, but the US isn't a real republic so anything its signature is on is worth dirt.
