No one ever is. Imagine you open a restaurant, Kabar’s Place, and I open one right next door, RD’s. We both compete, but, unbeknownst to you, my rich uncle is subsidizing me and so I can sell below you.
Who loses? Who wins?
Nonsense. I am talking about trade agreements and the violations of them. China and the US are members of the WTO and signatories to GATT along with almost all of the major trading nations. We know the Chinese are manipulating their currency to give them a trade advantage. They are not abiding by the rules. We know China is stealing our intellectual property.
Your silly analogy shows the level of your understanding of what is happening.
