China/US Trade War, page-17

when China was first admitted to join WTO Back in 2001, there were conditions of no barriers to entry in Chinese markets and intellectual property rights. And to date they have not properly addressed these issues and its not until trump has been elected that they have resurfaced as a global issue. I personally think this issue should have been addressed long ago. The chinese have had plenty of time to address this but has not. You just need to look at Bellamys organic baby formula to realise how burdensome their SAMR approval process is. Not to mention how the approvals favour the companies with chinese links.

and issue with intellectual property rights where forced technology transfers! I think i said enough on that already lol. Please do not stickup for a government that does not protect rights of foreign businesses or even human rights (Tibet and Uighurs anyone??). And not to mention debt diplomacy and how they have diplomatically isolated Taiwan in a bid to force integration to china. The chinese government has a very sneaky way of conducting businesses and political affairs, they are not to be trusted.

if you think America is not to be trusted then i think you may want to have even more distrust in china. Atleast we have elections, they don't. Xi jinping will most likely be president for life. Look at issue of south china sea, xi has said to obama that he wasnt going to militarise the south china sea.. and look at what happened. Please look at this current situation at different angles.
