So Typical

To the Editor:
The U.S. government argues that Beijing puts too many barriers in the way of its citizens who wish to buy foreign goods ("Before Visit to China, a Rebuke," Dec. 12). Although correct, this argument is sodden with hypocrisy.
Most notably, among Uncle Sam's complaints is that China imposes "limits on some sales of farm goods." On Sunday, the Washington Post reported how Washington protects large dairy farms by shutting down low-priced dairy suppliers - in other words, by imposing "limits on some sales of farm goods."
