This is a bit too on the nose:

Under this Act, if the country does not operate on market principles of cost and pricing structures, and sales of merchandise in such country do not reflect the fair value of the merchandise, such country shall be determined as a “NME country”. [...] But in November 2022, the U.S. changed its determination and considered Russia a “NME country”. [...] In October 2017, the DOC re-determined China as a “NME” [...]

"Non-market Economy"

It's a coincidence this time around

Yeah I knew what it meant but holy shit that’s one you should reword to get a different acronym

But why pick those words as opposed to a "controlled market economy" or something?

Red scare propaganda. "Non Market Economy" sounds like communism. And the acronym is just a bonus.
