China is right re: concerns about international trade agreements that threaten the sovereignty of nations. (Unless of course your only concern is bottomline financial growth, all else be damned.) You’d think so-called “democratic” countries would be raising those red flags. Then again most of those ” democratc” countries have rope-a-doped their people into believing they are still democratic countries when in reality they are managed by sock-puppet governments that chart their course according to the profit interests of deep pocketed Corporate masters rather than the longer-term best interests of their citizens. Corporations lead, govts. follow. Economy trumps ecology. Profits before people.

In the 1970’s there was universal hysteria pertaining to global cooling. The best scientists were predicting an ice age by 2020. Let’s hope the newest generation of scientists will be skeptics and eventually prove this latest political hoax of human caused climate change as again a political case of crying wolf, taking advantage of humanities tendancy to act like sheep. Meanwhile we have to damage our economy and our competitive advantage.

Instilling all the human considerations that one or some countries are looking for is similar to how the EU operated and why the common person in Britain voted to Brexit the EU. It will be thousand of years and probably never where all people will think alike in fact I hope we never get that way. For now trade is trade and that’s it.
