Which country has touted a free trade deal with China?
Mexico, Canada, or Trumps USA?
The clause is a controversial one, good luck implementing it but reality is none of the countries involved are negotiating a free trade deal with China, well except for China whose stated they want to open their economy as they don't have the means to supply their population.
Any trade imbalance naturally diminishes as Chinas population moves to middle class its only a matter of years until they won't be able to buy enough western products, keep in mind China has seen a growth in wages of 400% in the past 10 years, its cheaper to make products now in parts of Europe than it is China.
China is in the top 3 trading partners of most industrial nations.. including the USA, Any harm done to China bites America and its allies back in the ass.
USA has been buffered this year with loot money being returned, that's not the case next year, China is the major growth area for your international companies.
Chinese dollar has fallen, American dollar has strengthened. For every $1 China was making in January.. their now making $1.20, biggest holder of American debt is.. China, China thanks Trump for the extra interest he's paying them.
No body wins a trade war, its going to come down to which leader wants to do their population the most harm, if China wants to fuck Trump back, not a gentle slap like they've been doing... they have numerous options, none are good for the American tax payer.
Even under the TPP deal it was only going to slow the growth of China, not stop it.... 1.8 Billion vs .35 million... sorry you lose.
