US doesnt manufacture cigs and pharms. Companies do that. Those companies are subject to the law of the conutries they sell their products too.

If the French want to allow 16yr olds to drink whiskey. So be it. (not sure if thats the law, but the French like their livations)

You make a long list and each point is intellectual dishonest. Do a little research. You are on HN not facebook. We have standards of intelligence here. I dont think this list meets those standards.

US Companies do that. You're trying to split hairs to start an ideological argument. It's the US insofar as the US (as a regulatory entity) could stop it. There are caveats to both "the Chinese" and "the US" which are only monolithic in concept. This isn't insight.

We all agree that hypocrisy is not good, right? Or am I missing something?

It's a comment, not a thesis statement.

Replace "US" with "US-based companies" if it makes you feel better.
