[Red] China state media warn Trump against renouncing free trade deals
reuters.com ^ | 11/19/2016

"Turning his trade-bashing campaign talks into actual policies could bash any hope that the Asia-Pacific will finally have its much-wanted free trade deal," said a commentary in the official Xinhua news agency on Saturday.

"Worse, it could drag his country and the wider world into deeper economic distress," added the agency, which is a barometer of government thinking.

...

China's Xi is selling an alternate vision for regional trade by promoting the Beijing-backed Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which as it stands excludes the Americas.

Chinese state media has warned Trump against isolationism and interventionism, calling instead for the United States to actively work with China to maintain the international status quo.

There are a lot of “useful idiots” right on Free Republic and talk radio that side with China about this matter.

GHWB de-linked Red China human rights abuses from trade and created the Communist monster the world has today. Bush’s fault...literally.

The ChiComs are saber rattling and fearful of the Trump presidency. That’s a good thing.

Free Trade?

A two way street.

Trump is correct. China has no teeth. The US is the ,largest consumer in the world. WE do the dictating from here on out and we will NOT sacrifice our SOVEREIGNTY under Trump to a pack of big mouthed Communist aggressors. China is SCARED!

...............................................

Not the way it has been administered. China has broken every law by its currency manipulation and there is no such thing as “Free” trade as long as the playing field is not equal for all. Warnings and complaints have done nothing to cause them to cease their cheating. Time to teach them a lesson they won’t forget.

We have no choice but rework the fair trade deals. China don’t give a damn about the need for more jobs in America. Trump is right.

China, thanks to the RATS in America, you have taken our middle class away, you have built your cities on OUR dime, and those days have come to an end...

We have a new Sheriff in town now, and you know him, you have dealt with him and you know as we do, your not getting your way anymore...

Party is over, time to go back to your caves...

A culture that murders 70 million citizens, poisons pet food and baby formula shouldn’t be allowed to trade with the US at all. Screw them.

Exactly. My 6 word post, I thought, implied all that for those in the know

It would be appreciated if you would clarify your posts for those NOT in the know. Far too many support the so called “Free Trade Agreements” which strip the US of our Sovereignty to decide matters for ourselves. Free Trade is NOT free trade. It is a manner to strip America of our own decision making, putting us at risk and robbing us of our economic foundation. Trump will bring back the ability to buy something-—anything-—made in AMERICA again. Bilateral agreements are good. Multilateral agreements are disastrous. Look for an example at the U.N. We have funded it largely throughout its existence. What good has it ever done?

MFN status was conferred upon China in 1980 - Carter. But supported by every President from there on out.
