Theory of quid pro quo in global economy.

GE has entered a quid pro quo joint venture with a Chinese state-owned company, that will allow GE to sell parts in China, but at the same time forced to give up its intellectual property of sorts.  I call it a Pyhrric victory, because it ultimately makes GE vulnerable in the long term, for short term gain.

So why not turn this whole Chinese-mandate around on its head, and require any foreign firm that wishes to sell products in the US, to manufacture 50% of its goods in the US?  I'm calling it the American Global Cooperation with Good Neighbors agreement.
