No, protectionism is not associated exclusively or even primarily with emerging or developing countries. The GP’s comment talks about 19th and 20th century history, during which time Europe and America industrialized and protectionism was practically the default.

That's neither here nor there, we're discussing China's actions in the context of free trade being the global norm and having established organization like the WTO to ensure a certain level of reciprocity.
The larger point is that China is practicing extreme protectionism while benefitting greatly from free trade.

The GP literally mentions protectionism in the context of the 19th century. I think you’re in the wrong thread.
