The US cannot trust the Chinese government, but economic isolationism is pure idiocy. Can anyone name an isolationist country that has a strong economy?
Good point. The US is the largest trader in the world. In many ways it's the US's trading system. We control it, it's ours, why should we abandon it? I think we should fight for it instead. It's an american interest. Any nation which threatens world trade should have to face american military power.
