So you want no NTBs and zero tariffs? Free markets?
I think reducing barriers to trade fairly across the board would be more advantageous than restricting it to only special friends.

So you'd remove all trading blocs? The world over. You'd remove NTBs? Inc health and safety standards? Labour & environmental laws?

Nope. These are bigger issues than is suitable for discussion on twitter. So pls stop making assumptions.

Many barriers are about standards. You're fine with China's employment regs? Think that's a fair comparison?

That's a different issue. Conflating trade with human rights gets yourself in a muddle. Did you know your iPhone is produced unethically?
-
You mean immorally surely? But how so?

I'd say "unethically" is more appropriate. An example:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html …
