    Im going to label your 4 different paragraphs 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 to make it more viewable and structuralized

    1. The US deficits to almost every upcoming country and to many others because you are the worlds leading economy. People want to sell in the US because you have a lot of purchasing power.

    2. Thats something we both agree on. So know you understand what a tarif is do you see how its impossible to make Mexicans pay for the wall by raising tarifs?

    3. China is the worst country to respect intellectual property. Every country that is not at the same development level as America, west europe, scandinavia etc is infringing on copy rights because without it, it wont sustain. One of the biggest examples are drugs. African and indian markets copy drugs with a total lack of respect for copyrights because if they respected it most people wouldnt be able to buy them. Intellectual property is a pretty bad system as it is. I do think it needs to be in place, but not with how it is today.

    4. Could you give me a source on that, I'd like to read up.

    the link about Mexico and NAFTA?
    https://www.export.gov/article?id=Mexico-Trade-Barriers

    I also came across this
    https://ustr.gov/trade-topics/localization-barriers
    Localization Barriers to Trade
    In the last few years, a growing number of America’s trading partners have imposed what are called “localization barriers to trade” - measures designed to protect, favor, or stimulate domestic industries, service providers, and/or intellectual property (IP) at the expense of goods, services, or IP from other countries. Localization barriers are measures that can serve as disguised trade barriers when they unreasonably differentiate between domestic and foreign products, services, IP, or suppliers, and may or may not be consistent with WTO rules. Examples of localization barriers include:

    but I don't know which countries are doing it.

    Thats because you perceive money as the direct value for currency. But its not. Money is only the intermediary for capital.
    Money represents the fact that you in the past have earned capital by goods or services.

    So in fact, if you are a dish washer, you are paying your bananas with 5 dishes washed using the intermediary of money to represent your service

    the last part is just pure protectionism. Its what your country is about to do with mexico. Its protecting domestic interest from foreign, america markets.


    So america does have trade bariers towards mexico. So both have em.

    @flasche It isnt an ideal comparison cause its pretty hard to explain the positive effects of globalism on individual capital :P
