Well it is a little more complicated then that. Although it wasn't explicitly listed ( and I have no idea why it wasn't given most other countries had ), China would have to open up its market "more" to allow proper competition. Those deals, were signed after WTO, where it was beneficials to both in the long term. China gets to learn about the tech, and have US companies hiring there people, making investment into China under some partnership conditions. After 10 years it was suppose to be loosen. Instead US was trapped with investment money that cant be easily transferred out, and a market so big that they cant ignore.

it is childish at best to selectively focus on WTO agreements only. when China is banned from purchasing most high tech stuff from the US, even some intel Xeon processors and DELL computers, how could you possibly expect to have easier access to the Chinese market?

The US government should also become more consistent when it comes to international treaties and agreements, if those WTO agreements are indeed so bad to the US, why not just follow America's own paths in the Iranian deal, the Paris Climate deal and the UN human right commission case? Rather than keep crying on whether WTO is fair or not, maybe it is time to pack up and leave WTO? Trump mentioned it recently but didn't have the balls to actually make it happen, so sad.

And I agree. There are LOTS of moving parts so it is hard to single out. And US hasn't exactly been playing "decently" either.

I just wish China would open up just a "little" more. To shut everyone up.
