Agree,with you there. If you want to torpedo TPP because it was supported by Obama, at least back it up with another plan. Instead they just abandoned it, bad move.The telling part is the lack of a US strategy. Regardless of what one thought Of the TPP, it was a long range commitment to shoring up US economic ties in Asia. Since then the US has been just futzing around with ‘no direction known’.
Without a doubt on the positives and NEGATIVES of a four year term.The TPP was simply a continuation of one sided trade agreements we’ve made with China for decades. China is able to negotiate trade agreements without considering short term political impacts. A major advantage which they have capitalized on for years. There are instances where a two party system and four year presidential elections work to our detriment.

Was China in the TPP? To your other point, yes, those unfair agreements go back centuries and were coupled with assistance in addicting the Chinese with opium.
China signed out of it fairly early on, and it morphed into an agreement in which it's partners were antagonistic towards China. That was supposed to be the benefit of it in the end. The U.S. was supposed to sign the TPP with all the other countries of Asia, and build a trade network that would weaken china's power over the US and China's grip on the rest of Asia. At least that's the way I remember it.One of the problems with the TPP (at least in my opinion) was the absence of China. China looked at the TPP and said thanks but no thanks. We will negotiate our own more favorable trade deals with the participants...and they have.
Sorta. The original agreements contained protections from other nations engaging in currency manipulation. China’s long game is taking over the currency market through such manipulations. They view America as weak and spoiled due to our world flex Dollar. And want to replace that. They don’t want to invade America. Or change our culture. They view both as inferior. They want to replace our currency. So they passed.One of the problems with the TPP (at least in my opinion) was the absence of China. China looked at the TPP and said thanks but no thanks.

If he had plans that worked to better the cold war with China, I might agree with you. But he hasn't.
Bho and the Democrats wanted a wall . . .It’s amazing how many things Trump is right on until you discover that he was the one to make the decision.
Agreed. The stalled trade talks (US tariffs remain in place) are no improvement, and more recently Trump has decided that he needs to use China as an excuse for his failures and to distract people from his relationship with Russia.
There are important, real issues to resolve with China (IP protection for example!), we need a long term strategy to do so, not just another episode in the Trump-China show.
Not to mention they have every Dem and most of the moderate Republican leadership in their pocket. They can wait out any threats and make gains long term. We will wake up one day, the Dollar will no longer be King, we won’t be able to print how ever much we want to spend, and the half of the American population that pays no federal tax and reaps thousands in benefits is going to be really really pissed off when the gravy train stops.Based on our past history a successful long term strategy is difficult. China has usually simply waited for us to fold (and we do) in order to garner favorable terms. It’s going to take years before China takes our threats seriously.

Or just killed them.Imagine praising an authoritarian government who has jailed those who dared speak out against it and censored personal freedoms for decades.
Hardly a complete picture of China and few Chinese would agree with it. US history is one of genocide and periods of ugliness (even in Tulsa) but we focus on the good parts to outweigh them.Or just killed them.

I sat in Twin Towers fishbowl and watched the Chinese “moderates” send in the tanks in 1989. They murdered upwards of 10,000 out of our sight. They starved tens of millions with their greed and pride. There’s nothing close to either in our history. You should be ashamed of yourself.Hardly a complete picture of China and few Chinese would agree with it.

Why for looking at the entire picture? I much prefer trying to understand how the world works instead of letting hatred shape my reality.
Yes looking at the whole picture is necessary. Seeing the similarities and differences between China and the US on all counts is important. Whether those things are positive or negative, for either country, they are paramount to good negotiations. And there will be some positive and NEGATIVE for both countries.Before this gets out of hand....let's be clear about our views.
Yes, China is not suppressing just Uighers, there's the Tibetans, Mongolians, Hong Kongers and perhaps a shot at the Taiwanese. It's ugly and I've seen if first hand in Kashgar, Hong Kong, and Tibet.
At the same time China has made some tremendous achievements economically and 90+% citizens are pleased with the government in general.

One could argue that China these days is what the US was in the first half of the 19th century. Aggressively moving to homogenize the country, suppress minorities and expand (South China Sea today, who knows what next year).
Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Pinochet, and Saddam all got similar numbers.Before this gets out of hand....let's be clear about our views.

(Otherwise) That leaves you with an incomplete picture of a country, and not in a solid place to negotiate.
