A little socialistic government control here and there to grease the capitalism along.
So demanding that China allow our goods to enter their country freely is anti-free market? It must be nice to be able to craft arguments without the bothersome constraints of logic.
Yep.
So is banning Apple from financially supporting communist china (which it does.)

Nah, all you need to do is merely call "socialism" by the name "capitalism" (and vice versa) whenever is suits you or whenever you stand to make a buck somehow. For example, Apple investors use the term "capitalism" to describe their support of chinese communism.
“So demanding that China allow our goods to enter their country freely is anti-free market?”
Yep.
There you have it. You’ve displayed your confused thinking for all to see. Capitalism, by definition, doesn’t exist when access to markets (as well as foreign ownership of corporations) is denied by governments. In other words, a free market does not exist between the U.S. and China.
You just claimed that a President demanding that China open up its markets to U.S. products is anti-free market. Basic word definitions are beyond your grasp. For example you continue to refer to such policies as Socialism. Socialism is defined by wealth redistribution. Trade barriers, regardless of whether you’re for them or against them have nothing to do with wealth redistribution or Socialism.
