@emptywheel There's an uneasy tension between WTO rules and bilateral trade deals. Trade adjustment $, labor rules, environment. -
@OKnox Sure. But does that mean WTO are not rules that were already written (largely by US)? -
@emptywheel Yes. But the argument is that China can shape the expectations/baselines of global trade via bilat deals. -
@OKnox That is the argument, yes. And yet the US is the one pushing the most bilats, no? -
@emptywheel You remind me to check on the rates of unionization in the ag sectors that stand to benefit the most. Thank you.
