I think abandoning TPP is a mistake. TPP is for curbing China influence. I think many Americans underestimate China. They are a lot more powerful than they show.
- venomsnake 10y agoAnd why should USA curb china?
- notfromhere 10y agoBecause they're not going to always be interested in living under American hegemony.
- AtheistOfFail 10y agoThen we go to war. It's good for business.
- sickbeard 10y agobecause they are competing?
- dnprock 10y agoThey're eating our lunch. If you think China is a nice guy and compete fairly, you are wrong. China is dominating Asia, pulling away American allies, spreading its economic influence, fast. If we are ok, then we don't have to do anything.
- chillacy 10y agoThat didn't seem to happen with the USSR, and that sentiment was very popular during the Cold War.
- drnex 10y agoThis is a very important question. If you guys wanna be better than China, please do it, by being better yourselves, not by making your competitors worse. That attitude is improper, specially for the most powerful country.
- venomsnake 10y agoDunno - I think that spheres of influence concept is extremely proper for the upcoming multipolar world.
