Geopolitical disaster for US. Even more frustrating because it was so foreseeable. TPP placed US at center of 12-country pact. China excluded. Great long-term containment strategy. Trump withdrew. Then started trade wars. Even with allies. Ceded Asia-Pacific to China. For nothinghttps://twitter.com/axios/status/1013448268397850625 …

Xi knows how much economic influence means for geopolitical influence. (Unlike Trump, he's not ignorant of post-WWII history). That explains his ambitious Belt-Road Initiative. And why he's pursuing a trade pact with 15 other Asian and Oceanic countries.

If you wanted to contain and rollback US power, you'd aim to weaken America's ties to Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico (all in TPP), South Korea, India (in discussions for China's new trade pact), and Europe. The worst part of this geopolitical disaster? It's self-inflicted (END)
