What country and what industries? I am curious. Do you think that you own country does not do the same to others?

New Zealand. Meat exports and dairy.
I would assume that China is your biggest trade partner for both of those categories. Is the US a major trade partner for either of those categories? I find it hard to believe. The US (and most rich countries) have way too much domestic dairy farm capacity. As a result, there is lots of govt subsidies paid to dairy farmers.

I think you might have cause and effect switched around.
The US is our largest market for meat exports. Our top dairy markets are all in Asia, China being too.
