Lets change things around a bit. Lets say I make cars here in the US and I want to sell them in China. My cars pass every safety and emissions test here in the home country, but in China, they have different but lower safety and emissions standards in all aspects.

If I want to sell my cars in China, I have to pass the Chinese safety and emissions tests even though my cars have already met a higher safety standard. If I don't, my cars and my company will get kicked out of China until I fall in line.

If freedom of information and speech is such a big deal for you, why haven't you written your representatives to boycott all China trade?
