Well, there's another side to an old argument in favour of trade with China, that trade would cause China to govern itself more like us. The other unmentioned side of the argument is that trading with China would make us govern ourselves more like them.
Now we have a PM who's stated an admiration for the way China's government can get things done - the implication seems to be that our government and economy is too constrained, presumably by our higher standards. To me the greatest threat to both our societies is the fusion of state and corporate power - a development that appears to be progressing around the world regardless of what type of government exists. Trudeau on his own will neither make nor break this progression and at the end of the day and I expect the power of the state will continue to expand along with more opportunities for the wealthy. They can't seem to control themselves any more than we can.
Humanities greatest challenge is as timeless as it is unchanging - the struggle between the governed and those who govern.
