Should the Google/China spat over censorship start a trade war that puts an end to Chinese-made computers?

One international trade lawyer argues that it should: "If China shuts out our Internet companies, we need to shut out their hardware that the Internet runs on." The sentiment comes from Gil Kaplan, a former Commerce Department official who is now in private practice. Writing Tuesday at The Huffington Post, Kaplan argued that free trade deals are all about reciprocity -- and that the US has opened its markets while China has not.
