Like many Americans I buy a lot of Chinese-made electronic components that come via “China Post” for free shipping. Lately however US-based resellers have started competing by having quantities shipped over in one container and then fulfilled from a US location. The cost is higher but still affordable and shipping time is reduced from several weeks to several days. So there are ways to satisfy customers without the US taxpayers having to foot the bill.
I like “free stuff” as well as anyone, but I also know that “free” is never really free. It’s a question of who pays, and that “who” should be the one who derives the benefit from it.

The U.S. is willing to renegotiate the treaty over the next
year but will leave the union if no agreement can be reached,
the officials said.
Trump argues that the global shipping treaty benefits China
and other countries at the expense of U.S. businesses —
making it cheaper to ship packages from Beijing to New York
than from San Francisco to the East coast, which particularly
benefits Chinese, manufacturers. The officials say the treaty
is used by shippers of the narcotic fentanyl to the U.S. from China.
Good post. Good Thread.
Good President.
