Under this Act, if the country does not operate
on market principles of cost and pricing structures, and sales of merchandise in such country do not reflect the fair value of the merchandise, such country shall be determined as a “NME country”. [...] But in November 2022, the U.S. changed its determination and considered Russia a “NME country”. [...] In October 2017, the DOC re-determined China as a “NME” [...]
This is a bit too on the nose:
Oh come on NME are you fucking kidding me
"Non-market Economy"
It's a coincidence this time around
Yeah I knew what it meant but holy shit that’s one you should reword to get a different acronym
But why pick those words as opposed to a "controlled market economy" or something?
Red scare propaganda. "Non Market Economy" sounds like communism. And the acronym is just a bonus.
If this was in a story I'd think it was hamfisted omg
