I am a HUGE fan of free trade because I believe that countries that trade with each other don't go to war. What we had with China was not free trade. It was a stacked deck based on rules set in place half my life ago when China was an emerging economy. They are now the second largest economy on earth and letting them keep rules set in place 20 years ago is a stacked deck.
Having said that.......China is in a very dangerous spot right now. A LOT of countries are going to come to the same conclusion as the person above.
When it skipped to Iran I asked Mr. S. if he thought Iran would go to war with China. He said no because Iran knows China will wipe them off the map. But now that every single country on the planet is involved in this... things are very dangerous for China. Most countries don't have the impulse control we have.
