You are aware that no western social media is allowed in China, are you not?

Are you implying we should firewall free internet like china?

No. I’m implying that in general, international trade works by shared openness or shared closeness. If one country or economic region puts an import tax on something, the reciprocal thing is likely to be taxed by the opposite partner.

I was responding to someone saying “oh this just creates a monopoly for Zucks” when in fact the Chinese social companies have a monopoly in China (an ENORMOUS market) because our products are blocked over there.

So what we are doing is in line with the norm in international trade.
