There are fewer impediments to passing laws

A totalitarian government is considered to be more efficient at making decisions than a democratic one because there are fewer impediments to passing laws.

Explanation:

A totalitarian government is a system of government in which the state exercises absolute and centralized power or control over all aspects of life. The government has no limits in authority and does as they like. Individual’s opposition to the state is restricted.

A democratic government is a system of government in which the citizens have the right to exercise their fundamental human rights by voting. Power is vested in the people, who rule directly or through freely elected representatives.

trade regulation is a field of law, often bracketed with antitrust (as in the phrase “antitrust and trade regulation law”), including government regulation of unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive business acts or practices. antitrust law is often considered a subset of trade regulation law. franchise and distribution law, consumer protection law, and advertising law are sometimes considered parts of trade regulation law.

in general the theory of economics says that the more open to trade a country is the better   the result for the same country and the whole economies.

in real life countries impose taxes, quotas, etc which is not so good for the economies.

this kind of commercial war between the usa and china is slowing down the growth of the whole world so we can say that it is a draw back of trade regulations. and the free trade agreements are benefits of trade regulations.
