seems like this will backfire if we ever want to access the emerging Chinese consumer market.

I find it sad how the US will be "punished" for righting a wrong, because Chinese has gotten so used to the status quo of "wrong".

Chinese will not want to buy foreign stuff. If looking at history, the British had to force opium down the Chinese in order to get them to trade tea.

The main exception is in luxury products like Gucci bags, iPhones and LV.

This has been a big part of the motivational story all along, but what would we sell to the Chinese, and how does that compare to what they sell to us (with or without unfairly subsidized shipping)?
