"A free market is self regulating" until someone makes a better product for less money, I guess.
The point both of you deliberately overlook is that China is not participating in a free market anyway. They never played by those rules so there‘s no point in treating them the same way as anyone who does. There is a lot of hypocrisy to be found in politics and economics around the world and China itself is a prime example of that. But a measure to defend yourself from an obvious case of economic warfare is the most understandable thing in history. Your criticism is misplaced and irrational. I mean do you seriously think a monopoly is desirable?
When has the US ever participated in a free market?
Man..interweb really drinks that anti-China koolaid.
Decades of propaganda works. Centuries of racism helps as well.
