Laws/treaties should not be solely judged based on how they deal with excesses. The point is that the impact on ordinary countries doing ordinary things is extraordinarily large. Looking only at excesses is similar to a "think of the children" or "but TERRORISM!" argument.
Besides, Russia and China aren't going to sign the TPP anyway, so those excesses are actually completely irrelevant to the effect this treaty would actually have.
