"China's said that they're willing to pick up the reins where the US left off so an agreement which was supposed to exclude China could now make the Pacific countries very China centric."
Canada's already vassalised to China through FIPPA, so they (we) will probably be enthusiastic. I have nothing against Chinese people, but I thought godless commies should be held at arm's length. That was the subject of Harry Truman's inauguration speech in 1949, how incorrect the Communists were. What a difference a few trillion yankee dollars make! Lucre, not Truth, drives this world of ours. Oops, sorry, everybody knew that.
