Most importantly, if the U.S. fails to make some kind of agreement like the TPP, China will move into the same zone and dictate trade on its own terms instead. This would be a true disaster for U.S. diplomacy.

Sounds like something John Kerry would say. It's pretty obvious that most of US diplomacy was sold to the highest bidder starting with Carter and Clinton. It is not fixable with trade deals that give more power to foreigners. It is not fixable period. Trump on the other hand would bypass "US diplomacy" and spell out terms to our adversaries like China.
