Since you can ask that question for every number, it is useless.<p>Unless you have indications that suggest &quot;a deliberate protectionist move&quot; it&#x27;s pure polemic.<p>I have no idea how that specific number was reached. But since I don&#x27;t suggest ulterior motives or a grand conspiracy I don&#x27;t have to provide anything. You have to show evidence or at least a coherent argument that amounts to more than &quot;I don&#x27;t like the outcome&quot;.
