Well living in NZ my view point is America has burned it bridges already. I don't think its so much the US trying to get free trade agreements as rejecting offers or bundling toxic policies in with them. I don't think many people would disagree the future of NZ lays with China who are currently creating new free trade agreements (without military servitude or protectionist mantra attached), and NZ is becoming a destination for wealthy and middle class Asians to escape the homeland. So unless the US buck its ideas up about its foreign policies, and China continues its progression away from totalitarianism its going to loose friends fast. And by friends I mean there is huge anti-US sentiment in NZ already, its really viewed as the "bad guy" in most respects, totally corrupt, and on the point of collapse.
