You have to ask yourself why would a company like Ford agree to such an arrangement?

No, that was the deal Ford had to accept to gain access to the Chinese market. Its called a trade barrier and counter to agreements the Chinese already made. It is the job of our government to policy such agreements. A job they have proven either unwilling or unable to do.

No, Ford did not *HAVE* to accept the deal. They accepted the deal for benefit, not loss.

Ask yourself why would they benefit?
