I suggest a unified front against China in the form of tariffs and trade barriers. I believe it was a strategic blunder admitting China into the WTO. What is the historical precedent here?

Historical precedent: the Ming dynasty turned inwards and built the great wall of China. Just a few centuries later China was now a bit behind the west and was defeated in the opium wars.

Their problem wasn't that they built a wall, but rather they stopped looking past it because of beliefs in their own superiority.
