@BernardKeane dumped goods are being sold below the cost of production to distort markets. That is not free trade, it is market manipulation
@YorickPiper best response to others' protectionism is to ignore it. why punish yourself because someone else is punishing themselves?

@BernardKeane where dumping is a trade policy, it is not designed by the perpetrator to punish themselves, but to increase market share -
@BernardKeane do you think OPEC, Chinese steel cos, Indonesionan pulp & paper cos are trying to punish themselves or increase market share? -
@YorickPiper I'm not sure Chinese companies engineered a global glut of steel, which is responsible for 86% of a-d complaints here -
@BernardKeane many of those instances of Chinese dumping preceded the current glut. -
@BernardKeane thanks for the lively debate. Let's agree to disagree, gotta take the kids to the park! -
@YorickPiper a far more civilized pursuit
