Chinese environmentalism boosted by protectionism

Or, how the US is doubly screwed, by itself, by the WTO, as Chin refuses to let U.S. and European companies work on solar or wind power products.

But, we don’t have to put up with this crap, legally; China has never signed relevant WTO side protocols on government procurement, contra a promise way back in 2001.

However, we do have to, in a sense, since our debt is hostage to China. Europe, on the other hand, has more room to play; will we see a call for sanctions against China?

Will falling dollar prompt more protectionism?

It’s prompting the Chinese and various Arab countries, primarily through sovereign wealth funds from Arab countries and a mix of government and private money in China, to buy more American businesses.

I’m surprised that this hasn’t gotten political campaign play; I think this would fit up Edwards’ alley, above all.
