Watched a great documentary "Life & Debt" which goes into how the Clinton Admin fucked over the developing Caribbean nations by petitioning the WTO to force Europe to dismantle the market protections for Caribbean grown Bananas.
This was almost 30 years ago.

They literally don’t believe in the free market principles they espouse. It’s just propaganda. The truth is they just want to be the only ones allowed to make all the money & they don’t want the consumer to have any choice.

WTO, Occupy, Ferguson, BLM, the activists were in the streets, the media painted a narrative that was much different than the reality on the ground and then they suppressed coverage, then the voting public largely abandoned the activists.

'Faragist' as it is not upfront about the consequences of monetary union. A bit like "Let's go WTO".

And bang on cue, the @wto.org has just posted this little video explaining SPS (sanitary & phytosanitary measures).
I'd add that disciplining food safety and animal-plant health regulations in trade is an unsung achievement of the WTO, routine work that continues this week.

Starbucks CEO says the company is planning to focus more on AI and tech, including a adding system that would recognize customers as they arrive in stores to "present personalized digital menus."

The (Open) Internet as a concept is basically the only 'nation' I believe in enough to die for.
This does directly conflict w/ my acknowledgement that The Great Firewall is actually one of the single most important reasons China has survived since its entry into The WTO.
So i dunno. Shits complex.

The WTO is unfortunately a dead letter post-Doha Round. China functionally reinvented mercantilism and smashed it.
I don't disagree about forcing US automakers to compete, though, producing for export is the only way you actually build competitive industries.

The "bilateral dialogues mixed with threats of unilateral action" approach to China has some clear limitations. Maybe some day people will go back to filing WTO complaints, which has been the most effective way to deal with trade irritants.
Chinese trade expert Cui Fan warns Beijing will respond "swiftly" if EU moves forward with kill switch plans, despite the recent agreement on hybrid vehicles.
He says China has exercised considerable restraint, but has prepared a range of countermeasures.

Not true, that is incorrect. The UK can become part of Europe's trade umbrella if it relinquishes its WTO seat and meets the relevant standards.

There's a long history of flow between LAPD to PPB and right after the WTO protests in Seattle, Kroeker was hired by the PPB to brutalize and put down the insurgent radicals of Little Beirut. Boy did he do that, at every opportunity: calvary charging kids and directly pepper spraying babies.

The WTO protests were deemed too extreme by the public, though history has shown the protesters were largely right. Occupy Wallstreet is the same story. Fergusun, anti-Cop City, BLM, Free Palestine, anti-ICE. The time lag before public realization seems to be shortening at least.

It is all so ridiculous, and we still appear not to have learnt anything
Just as trading under WTO rules would mean we had to follow rules we didn't make and answer to a "foreign" court if we didn't
