China Will Gain On Us More Quickly Without TPP

We have to retrain on more highly technological middle classed work. If we don't get meaningful
partnerships in the Pacific Rim, China will control labor and trade throughout that region. If we think
our jobs are going to exist in that climate, we are dead wrong. We desperately need the Trans Pacific
Partnership right now. China is definitely branching out in places which don't need to be weakened,
in many of those same places we need to be...Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. We don't
need China to challenge those economies or be the most powerful players in those economies.
As painful as the changes we have to make may be- we'd better hurry out of our comfort zones and
adjust to a continental giant which has begun to grow very quickly. China will give us NO quarter
when it comes to imports, tariffs, exports, cheap retail, once they get a leg up in smaller countries bordering the great sea! Whatever we can offer right now, they can offer it cheaper.
their expertise in manufacturing is growing by leaps and bounds. If the U.S. union population
is worried, they should be. Those union leaders had better get the best training for the best new cutting edge technologies America can nurture before anyone can copy our expertise spread well
enough to get an upper hand in how and where those new operations become dominant in world
cultures.
If China gets more control in those smaller countries than it have now, we are lost- and we don't likely have a way back to producing anything competitive. Whatever China gets in place will be
expensive enough that the countries where they establish business and manufacturing pre-eminence
will not want to change out infrastructures for another thirty to fifty years minimum, no matter what
we might offer as innovation.
POTUS knows this. He operates to solidify our place new world economies. He wants to fast track this new trade deal so that it cannot be derailed. He is a true patriot and wants to protect our futures in ways we don't understand, and in ways the current American political scenes will gut precisely because the 1% may be the only ones who can possibly feel sustained when we lose selling space for our products in all world markets. Half of them have inherited wealth anyway. Growing the wages
and wealth in our middle class is the only way we can have an economy which keeps pace with that
of  one engaging more than one billion workers! The greedy billionaire in this country cannot save us
China will outnumber us in billionaires too. But we can surely save ourselves. We have access to the
most adaptive citizenry in the world, bar none. We only have to be open to that fact.
Already, one million Chinese citizens live and do business in Africa.
As disease abates in Africa, is that middle class going to buy from us, or from China?
Our children and grandchildren are going to find out before too long.
