What are we going to do with China in terms of free trade and free markets?

Should the United States withdraw from trade with China? Think of the problems of regulatory attacks on US companies or state media campaigns against foreign companies to create a consumer backlash, all to serve the political goals of other international disputes. One of the recent issues that has concerned me is the price controls imposed on US automakers selling in their consumer markets. Let’s talk.

You see, there was a rather disturbing article in the Wall Street Journal on August 24, 2013 titled; “China Criticizes Car Prices, Says Automakers Too Strong,” by Rose Yu, Colum Murphy, and James Bennett. The article said; Chinese officials said they plan to review how cars are sold in the world’s largest auto market amid state media complaints about pricing, a development that could give foreign car companies less leverage over retail dealerships. of the nation”, yes, I agree and it will. It will no doubt also benefit Chinese automakers over, say, a GM.

Also, this is worrying because the “complaints” in the state media were internally generated by the state itself, then released all over the airwaves to the people, and then this created controversy will be fixed; you guessed it, the “status” that caused all the fuss in the first place. What this is is an attempt to impose price controls on foreign companies to give their own automakers an unfair advantage. Typical of the Chinese, but it’s also unfair and shows how they do business; in fact, it is just one more example of manipulation of free trade.

Should we ditch trade with China? No, that would be a disaster, unfortunately, they don’t let us sell in their markets, and there is a lot of protectionism disguised as moral authority, when reality is nothing like reality. So are we perfect? No we’re not really, we allow unions to manipulate our system here and interfere with free trade policies, we also have corporate interests that pressure our government and state department to make trade rules that favor them when, over all, cause conflict and harm our economy and global free markets.

What should we do? We should call all manipulation, regardless of who creates the ripple disturbance, exactly what it is. We need to be honest with ourselves and see that everyone else also does what they say, or should we call them, offer severe sanctions until the situation is rectified. The United States should not lean toward anyone, nor should we seek to economically enslave our trading partners to serve the few. Please consider all this and think about it.
