"The Chinese have dealt with that issue by protecting their market."

Can anyone explain why this ends up not being a bigger international trade issue? It seems to me like it would be a giant flashpoint, but it seems not to be.



What makes you think it chinese protectionism would be a trade issue? Not trying to be sardonic, just curious.


My perception is there's dissatisfaction with Chinese trade in many parts of American politics. So that there's an eleven-figure (or so) protection system in place seems like it would trigger howls of outrage and condemnation, and doesn't.

(I'm not sure it should, but "should" doesn't seem like a big obstacle to political outrage, normally. :-))
