You rebutted the article, while ignoring that the original point was that Trump is stupid for bringing up China with TPP.
That article proves that China is something to consider with TPP. They want in. You didn't rebut this point, you rebutted a ghost argument, which has been the status quo in this thread.
Yes, its stupid to bring China as a player in the TPP.
China dreaded the TPP because it puts the ball back in the US court, China at this point was so competitive and so globalized that it could literally do whatever it wanted and people would still need to buy cheap shit from them because it was the most competitive.
With the TPP now we have countries that will surpass China in competitiveness which will force China to either play ball and abide by the TPP or be left out.
Thats why China tried to create its own TPP and it failed miserably.
