    If we fail to hold the CCP to its obligations to the people of Hong Kong, we will be condemning the city to the Party's totalitarian rule & inviting further escalation elsewhere. Proud to partner with on a resolution condemning the CCP's actions.

    Here’s a great couple of encouraging verses for this Friday, from Psalm 57: “I cry out to God most high, to God who fulfills his purposes for me. He will send from heaven and save me ... God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness” (vv. 2, 3). Happy Friday

    Global economic integration now amped up and pursued for its own sake. Nat security, domestic needs, & liberalizing agenda diverge. Consequences for USA not so good. This system facilitated the “China shock,” which has had major security implications as well as economic ones

    Uruguay Round marks significant departure. Industries & sectors formerly outside GATT rules now brought in. And the largely advisory dispute resolution process of GATT replaced w/ binding WTO process, complete w/ appellate body able to rely on its own decisions as precedent

    This is why GATT left such large areas of economy & industry untouched, and allowed nations such wide latitude in domestic regulation. It was never trade liberalizing or integration just for the sake of integration

    And my claim has been that in important respects, Bretton Woods, GATT placed the first in service to the second. Trade was meant to serve the end goals of national economic strength & domestic stability among member states

    THREAD/ Couple thoughts on these well taken points. First sentence below glosses over important tensions. Opening overseas markets/liberalizing trade on one hand & preserving peace / national security on the other are related but distinct goals

    Replying to @sdonnan @HawleyMO and 2 others
    The goal of US leaders since Cordell Hull drove policy has been to push trade liberalization to open overseas markets and preserve a broader peace in the world. That has obviously changed recently. But the WTO did not mark a sudden revolution. It just created a dispute system.
