I had this conversation with qwename actually, it’s not actually proteccionism but simply failing to comply with chinese regulations. Microsoft does operate in China because they did comply with regulations.
Which is still protectionism. International companies must still partner with a Chinese firm if they wish to operate in China. That accomplishes the exact same thing. Protectionism isn’t only just a hard block on operating in a country.
