It would have been better to address those things in a way that didn’t hurt America. It would have helped not to alienate every other trading nation on earth for starters. Maybe create a regional trading bloc that didn’t include China, for example.
“Maybe create a regional trading bloc that didn’t include China”
right. because the U.S. has always fared so well in multi-lateral agreements ... have you learned nothing from trump about the how the U.S. always gets beat up by a bunch of nothing countries in multi-lateral agreements where our voice is always equal to the smallest dipshit country, and that the only way to go is unilateral agreements? Don’t you know that’s why trump nuked thee TPP regional trading bloc on day one?
and besides, who’s gonna be i this bloc of yours that cuts out china? france? germany? dream on ...
Now, that is just nonsense. We have new agreements with our most important export markets other than China (Canada, Mexico, Japan, etc.), Britain looks to be coming onboard, we get along ok at present with the Koreans, Vietnam, Taiwan, Brazil, etc. Even the EU supports us on matters like IP theft, though they do fear weakness in China could hurt their already vulnerable economies.
I advise stop drinking (and promoting) the MSM Kool-Aid.
