I remember a few years ago Mr. Dr. Ph. D His Majesty Her Excellency Piti complaining about American "protectionism" and "tariffs" who he said were protecting US citizens, to the detriment of exporters around the emerging world (but he kept that second sentence in mind).
Globalization has created a mindset that Western countries must import as much as possible from emerging countries, and if maybe one day you say, "no, thanks, I can make my own toothpicks," that's when the wild crying starts.
One conviction unites all these cosmopolitan and liberal Asian gentlemen: they are convinced that China will import all their manufacturing surplus without, however, noting that 29. baht gets you a product from China to Bangkok.
