It's time for a firm shift in our policy toward China - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Locke recommends a better approach that policymakers should embrace: He says the United States should be able to devise a carrot-and-stick approach whereby we would gradually remove tariffs as China moves to comply with World Trade Organization rules -- but with the understanding that we will reimpose selective tariffs, this time in concert with other nations, if China fails to follow through.
44% : This year, Taiwan hiked defense spending by 10 percent, but that still doesn't bring it close to its former level of outlays.
42% :"Just America imposing tariffs on Chinese goods and the Chinese retaliating with tariffs on American goods makes the America products more expensive than the French, the German, the whatever products," he said.
37% : Key to that has been trade with the United States, which, even with Donald Trump's wide imposition of tariffs, remains China's biggest single-nation trading partner.
