The ideology of "free trade" pressures all countries to compete to bow down and serve China's tyranny.

This is especially sad now that the "economic growth" that they say requires this goes mainly to make the rich richer -- which is hardly a worthy goal.

This is not a natural state of affairs. It results from the business-supremacy treaties.

The right kind of trade treaty, one intended to strengthen democracy, would punish countries with trade sanctions for any acts of tyranny, such as bogus punishment of dissidents.
