 @f1cf1cd7 Ultimately, all this really is just propaganda. If any of these arguments held water or had teeth to them then the United States would no doubt have pursued this already or at least made this a matter of contention in policy and diplomatic relations, especially as it pertains to trade. ---There's no way that the Trump administration just conveniently forgot about something like this during America's "trade war" sabre rattling. Articles and performances like the one linked only serve to manipulate the emotions of the American citizenry. They have little more utility.
