No offense, but how do we demand "free markets" from our competitors while closing our labor market at the same time?

Frankly, I don't believe we have the right to "demand" free markets in any sovereign foreign nation. They have sovereign jurisdiction over their domestic market the same as we have sovereign jurisdiction over ours. They have the right to establish a set of rules and regulations that they deem beneficial to their own citizenry just as we have the right to establish our own set of rules and regulations. Where do we get the "right" to "demand" that they change THEIR rules? That sounds just as obnoxious as giving some door-to-door salesman the right to bust down your front door to force you to endure his vacuum cleaner demonstration. Dang intrusive peddlers should be locked in jail instead.

The demand for free markets is only because other nations are having free access to our markets I am just asking for full reciprocity or as my grandmother use to say Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
