Precisely. It's beyond wishful to think that other countries won't put through policies that act as countermeasures to this. I know right now in Canada at least the talks are largely in favour of persuading the States to amend this provision somehow as opposed to adopting a similar provision. I really don't see how this is a sensible way of the US addressing its trade deficits with China.
