Yeah but the Korean won (its currency) is about 1/5th the value of the dollar.

You are right though that it is fun to watch korean cops line up against union thugs and pelt each other.
Also to import anything into korea there is enormous import taxes whereas we let them sell any and all their crap here with little duties.
They are going nuts to try to stop a free trade deal with us from going through.Guess they are afraid they just can't compete especially with our farmers.

The same holds true for trying to import a vehicle into Japan. Every imported vehicle must undergo a complete government inspection, which takes time and adds a fee to the cost of the vehicle.

The thing most of the FR free traders forget is that free trade is pretty much a one-way street (into the U.S.).
