    Nice edit. I keep talking about European climate from a European perspective.

    Importing less directly increases GDP. One would assume it would have 0 impact on exports, unless other governments suddenly are bitchy and angry that they cannot export to us (see: China).

      I am sorry but are you an economist or an engineer. The Chinese market is one of the most important for a lot of European companies.

      And it is kind of naïve to believe that protectionism would benefit the general population. Look how great North Korea or Cuba are doing.
