Protectionist Claims Countered

The United States and China may not agree on everything (or even very much in many cases) but the US and China seem to both be in agreement that about protectionist gambling policies where the online casinos are concerned. And even further, both countries are quick to claim that their restrictive policies are not protectionist in nature, but rather fair restrictions that block unsafe activities from the market. Honestly, the block is not entirely surprising from China, but the United States is the land of the free and opportunity, and yet the US government has some pretty controversial blocks in place. In fact, out of the entire global online gambling industry, these two countries have the most aggressive and severe gambling blocks in place, and yet both counties deny the blocks are for internal protectionist reasons.

The online casino gambling policies of both the United States and China have caused quite the stir throughout the industry in recent months and the fervor will only heat up if the US government closes the current session of Congress without making some serious steps toward change. For China, it’s been dubbed “The Great Firewall” and in addition to the online casinos, China is keen on blocking any questionable content that ranges from media and foreign news to any form of internet gaming that is not already specifically allowed.

What really stings about the US and China online casino gambling policies is that both countries flat-out refuse to admit that their policies are protectionist. They have both gone so far as to claim that they are advocates of free-trade and that both counties are honoring their treaty commitments to globally free trade.
