English term or phrase: mis-sold on both counts

Article from "The Economist"

"The deal is being MIS-SOLD ON BOTH COUNTS. Some see it as a Nixon-to-China moment: Nixon opened diplomatic relations with Communist China to balance the Soviet Union; doing nuclear favours for India now will help balance a rising China. But India has no intention of picking America’s fights with China. The pending deal has, it is true, persuaded India to back without enthusiasm demands at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN’s nuclear guardian, for Iran to suspend suspect nuclear work. But Indian contacts with Iran, and other unsavoury regimes, remain unhelpfully close. The high-water mark of India’s helpfulness, such as it was, is passing."

a questão tem sido tratada de forma desadequada de ambos os lados

Explanation:
Sug.

mis-selling - significa venda de produtos desadequados

on both counts - lados da "balança"

Como não se trata de vendas aqui, adaptando ao contexto talvez seja isto que significa. Uma questão mal tratada de ambos os lados.
