China does exactly this - restrict business and trade with USA. It’s time USA does the same
China is a major exporter to a lot of countries, so the same sentiment applies to them, too. More like, make the world great again.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_pa...
Cause china is an authoritian government that hasn't been too nice to america business in recent years. Why would anyone stand up for them now that the illusion of market openness goes away? Google not even allowed in china so why fight on china behave very hard.
