China has tariffs, trade barriers and non tariff barriers that they exercise with impunity. If one American citizen voices the concern that we do not protect our national security with judicious application of tariffs, he is excoriated by the "free trade" crowd. The problem is, the "free trade" crowd keeps crowing about free trade, but no one is practicing it, except the little guys who are forced into the free trade agreements being forged in the WTO because our Congress no longer as the authority to negotiate trade.

If they were to actually comply, the would have to both reduce the role of Party functionaries in making such things as loan decisions and ultimately reveal the several hundred billion in bad loans that their banking system because of a history of such decisions. It's a real problem for them.
