One key problem affecting trade which can make it unfair trade is state subsidies and state-run companies. Other practices which can cause unfair trade is that some countries have a large amount of sweatshop labor and/or are heavy polluters of the air and water.

Since one nation has little control over another nation, without some sort of agreement between two nations, unfair trade harms a particular group of people in one nation, such as laborers or consumers. Free trade suppresses wages and reduces job opportunities in the wealthier nation (e.g., the [[United States]]), and transfers wealth to the elite in the poorer nation (e.g., [[China]]). When the U.S. enters "free" trade agreements with authoritarian and totalitarian governments, U.S. companies such as [[Google]] that try to do business in those countries frequently help them enforce their repression.<ref>Bokhari, Allum (February 17, 2019).
