Pretty simple. Just have nothing to do with those people.

Why do folks bring up these esoteric questions when the answer is so obvious?

Does anyone know of anyone who wants to have diplomatic relations with China? The spin never stops. It never ends!

I know people who want to have relations. 99% of them are in big corporations that import the hell out of stuff from China, but sell next to nothing IN China. The thing is, those guys run the show. The rest of us don't count.

Those corporations can make just as much money diversifying their operations away from China. They will actually make more... but there are those special interests.
