5. more propaganda
1. those trade agreements are not free trade, they are by and for
multinational corporations and often by-pass any worker rights. If one examines the free trade theory, these, especially the China PNTR
agreement violate the theory itself

2. No one is recommending "protectionism". That's just another massive
propaganda statement. They are trying to label anyone who speaks
out about this "Multinational windfall" agreements as a protectionist.
It's the same tactic as making the term "liberal" a dirty word.
Protectionist would be to enact huge tariffs as well as shut down any trade at all. I have not seen that from anyone, anywhere who is speaking out about this.

What I find most interesting is how people in supposedly power and independent positions magically spew out the same propaganda that multinational corporations pay their planted pundits to say.
