The US aggressively peruses "Free Trade" agreements on behalf of our manufacturing corporations, with the deliberate policy of only allowing tariff-free imports from nations who implement these criminal actions. (e.g. the NAFTA suit against California for banning that gasoline additive). Just trade policy would be opposite: large tariffs on countries who don't match our labor or environmental standards.
China is agreeing to play by the rules, but the US wrote the rules.

Are you suggesting that if the US's trade rules were neutral --- neither punishing nor incentivizing child labor, pollution, abuses --- China would no longer be doing these things/
