Re: It just amazes me how much you're willing to give the Chinese a "pass"...
The only ones who believe the Americans when they claim they "play by the rules" are Americans.
Witness a long, long, LONG list of trade litigations that keep cropping up between the US and Canada. Canada keeps winning, and the US keeps imposing illegal tarrifs and the like.
The protectionists in the US will NEVER learn that the world is NOT "theirs".
