One-sided trumpeting of the rightist globalization argument this so-called leftist editorial page always gives. Never considers how tariffs might work to protect U.S. manufacturing if the gov't gave incentives for U.S. companies to keep manufacturing here. Germany somehow keeps manufacturing so why can't we? Furthermore, the unsustainability of increased CO2 emissions from continued globalized shipping is entirely ignored.

Insightful editorial about prospects of a trade war between the U.S. and China, and the impact it could have on the global economy. This article provides helpful context based on factual evidence about recent protectionist measures taken from both countries, such as tariffs imposed by President Obama on the sale of Chinese-made tires.

The author disagrees with Obama's actions, but does not use overly-critical language in doing so. He says Obama and China "must find a way back from the brink" that the protectionist policies led to. This suggestion does not demonize Obama the person, but rather recommends action.
