That is a bizarre claim. If you’ve only ever bought pre-grated Kraft “Parmesan”, that might be true. But it’s not difficult to buy Parmigiano-Reggiano in nicer grocery stores.

Also the EU has hundreds of special designations. It’s not surprising that the US would decline to give a blanket deference to EU law in this area.

While it may not be difficult, what I said is correct.

Why should China respect IP of USA if USA doesn’t respect IP of Europe?

It’s not correct. We have international agreements with China and others nations broadly covering patents and copyrights. We have no such agreements covering regional appellates.
