One of the biggest dangerous in the form of trade and technology protectionism is damaging the North-South relations and this leads to a climate change. The United States is taking measures, such as imposing tariffs, taxes or charges on products of developing countries to protect their own products.
The Us government just passed a bill against technology transfer to adopt and protect themselves against foreign competition on the technology market. Other countries start to follow them and are also taking measures including countervailing border measures, against goods and services imported from developing countries on grounds of protection and stabilization of climate.
The developing countries are starting to oppose these moves, because they think is not fair. Developing countries claim that linking trade measures to climate and the environment are unjust because they have lower technological capacity and thus cannot match the developed countries. Developing countries should instead be assisted through technology transfer
I think all measurements should be lifted because it doesn’t help the world economy. In the contrary, it stops the recovery of the world economy. We live in a world of understanding and helping each other and this proves the opposite. These measurement undermine the free economy. That’s why I’m against protectionism.
