Subject: Re: China turns a US trading partner screw
However, the status quo isn't acceptable by any measure *especially* if one is concerned about
-the rate of growth of China's military
-their stated position of wanted Taiwan under their flag
-their repeated demonstration of bad behavior in the South China Sea
-their ruthless exploitation of other nations in service of their broader strategy

Thus the Asian pivot by Obama, which you chose to ignore, and the TPP, which was abandoned by Trump in a very bad move which strengthened China. The TPP got renegotiated without the US present due to Trump.

However, we should withhold judgemen

This is just evasion, Trump is fucking over the US badly on the world stage and you're saying - wait and see - screw that Fess up, Trump is acting like a major loser.
