This exactly. The idea that we want to become beholden to a single country is preposterous. The comment you replied to made it seem like because US doesn't want our landscape torn up we are OK with an anti-competitive trading partner, the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Americans are fine with rising cost of goods but ideally we don't want those extra profits to go to a single country. Globisation in the Krugman sense was supposed to pull people out of poverty all over the world, not just in China.
