The consumer product market is open, until you draw the ire of the China government, then it closes to you and at times becomes even violent.

The perforation of the consumer product is at the top end of the pipe and it will be plugged as much as possible, too.

In Japan they did it largely by social consensus and coordination at associations such as the Keidanren, and we have seen it in China in anti-Japan, anti-Korea, anti-Norway, anti-Sweden, anti-Everywhere movements before.

Remember what Japan's officialdom said, when French ski-maker Rossignol complained about lack of market access? "We would love to import Rossignol and any other skis, but unfortunately the snow in Japan is different," they said.

China is perfectly capable of cooking up the same.
