> How many conversations have you been in where people were bragging about how good their health coverage is and trying to one-up each other

Do imaginary conversations in the shower count?

Yes. The US doesn’t require language fluency for green cards. You can even bring your own interpret to the interview.

United States issues the highest absolute number of permanent residency permits in the world. It grants approximately 1 to 1.4 million lawful permanent resident (LPR) cards (Green Cards) annually

For the US, you don’t have to know English for permanent residency. You can even have your interview in your own language with an interpreter

Canada and Europe call for banning American companies in their the name of sovereignty: upvoted and praised as necessary

America tries that for valid reasons (unfair subsidies, human or labor rights violations, BYD): get called fascist or stupid

It makes them even worse if you are defining fascism. Look up Italy when fascism was alive.

> We also don't have dictators taking over all parts of our governments

Because they are already in charge.

Really? It is quite fashionable to call the US fascist while going gaga at other countries that have similar or worse conditions. Let me bring receipts.

   The most striking difference is that top investors in Europe hold much higher stakes than in the United States. The top ten in Europe features several governments.

Do you want to apply the word you had in mind to those governments too?

So does China. E.g.,

China goes beyond protectionism and even threatens other countries from doing their own strategy.

> The authors conclude that non-tariff barriers were a primary instrument used by China in the U.S.-China trade war, with implications for China’s trade conflicts with other countries.

So does the EU

Interestingly, champions of free trade come out only when the US puts in any place the tiniest of restrictions.

I’d rather have that instead of govt monitoring of all communications. Your govt can hurt you more than any of those things. Especially in the EU given what happened just a few decades ago.

By this population-only logic, you should concede that India will overtake China.

Why not talk about how China shut out American companies for decades before complaining about BYD?

As an Indian immigrant, the PRC China has engaged in conflict with almost all its neighbors and stated wars in its short history.

China is not so benevolent when they get to the #1 spot:

US never championed free trade if by free trade you mean "anything goes."

Really strange that rest of the world can tariff and put up barriers, but once the US does that, all free-trade warriors step out of the wood work.

Don't complain when US starts to play by the same rules China has been using for decades.

Now it is getting traction. Go back a few decades and you would be mocked as hippy, new agey, zealot, etc., depending on the continent and decade.

There is still resistance in India to teaching this in government schools.
