America no longer hold the moral high ground against China

[FUCK THE POLICE]

So, now that Trump is killing the TPP, China has stated it's intention time set up it's own trans Pacific agreement. Australia, NZ, and several Latin American countries have already basically said they're going to join it. Trump will willingly cede southeast asia, Australia, NZ, and much of Latin America to the Chinese sphere of influence. What a fool.

Honestly China doesn't look that bad in comparison to the US anymore. One has an unelected communist leadership, and the other has an unelected fascist leadership. America is no longer a free country, and cannot act high and mighty towards China.

Bernie and Hillary ( at least sometimes) also opposed it. The case can be made for using the TPP as a China check-
but the price was too high.

Trans-Pacific Partnership: A Deal That Sanders, Clinton and Trump All Oppose
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/...eal-that-sanders-clinton-and-trump-all-oppose
...Bernie Sanders argues that the TPP "follows failed trade deals with Mexico, China and other low-wage countries that have cost millions of jobs and shuttered tens of thousands of factories across the United States." US corporations will offshore jobs to low-wage countries, accelerating the "race to the bottom" and facilitating exploitation of foreign workers.

After assessing the economic impact in its 792-page report, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) concluded that that the TPP is likely to "have only a small positive effect on US growth." According to Public Citizen, the commission's "faulty methodologies led to overtly optimistic projections."

The ITC report estimates that the trade deficit will increase the US global trade deficit by $21.7 billion by 2032. The deal is likely to worsen the trade balances of 65 percent of 55 US agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors. In a statement, Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, points out that the ITC analysis "suggests that if ever implemented, the TPP could really be disastrous."

The TPP claims to be a "free-trade deal," but could be far from it, and as Bernie Sanders says, the trade deal "follows in the footsteps of other unfettered free-trade agreements like NAFTA … [which] have forced American workers to compete against desperate and low-wage labor around the world."

It's quite hilarious that people like watermark want to protect the practices that allow for exploitation of impoverished workers globally and also leads to production in countries where pollution controls are all but non-existent, but the dumb motherfucker cries about fair wages and climate change with that same stupid brain. Total lack of self awareness

#1 Lead exaggerates, & thus undermines a valid point.
