The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

China's idea of free trade is unilateral: it's them being free to export. They're massively protectionist within China, mainly through non-tariff barriers such as arbitrary regulation.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago
