I absolutely agree that some other countries employ infuriating practices. I just don't think the answer to protectionism is more protectionism. Protectionist practices in Japan and S. Korea certainly didn't prevent their current economic problems, and may have made them worse. (By keeping domestic prices high, discouraging badly needed outside investment, and insulating companies from the effects of their own mismanagement.)
