Paraphrasing (18th paragraph)
Text
Unfortunately that reality has not been adequately explained to a public that is becoming increasingly fearful of globalization. Far from making an unapologetic case for open markets, free traders have played into the hands of protectionists by treating trade barriers as important assets while focusing all their energies on prying open foreign markets. Defending the virtues of imports should no longer be avoided.
The main idea of the paragraph
The free trade advocates failed to explain clearly the virtues of imports to the public who is becoming more and more fearful of globalization; as the result, trade protectionists' ideas of resorting to trade barriers and prying open foreign markets prevailed.
由于提倡自由贸易的人士未能向越来越担忧经济全球化的公众解释清楚扩大进口的好处，贸易保护主义者有关寻求贸易壁垒、逼迫其他国家开放市场的想法大行其道。
