US used very calculating strategy:
   Deliberately let those nations/reagions: Japan, China, Tawain, Korea
to have high trade suplus. Then start trade talk, to have long term
agreement which in favor of US. Those suplys will not only diminish,
and also become deficit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U.S. in it's history, alway over calculated her opponents, not by working
harder, but by unequal treaties.
China msut not put her long term economic intereat in danger and yield
to U.S. It is better to let the trade suplus diminish via U.S.' "retaliation"
than via long term unfavorable treatis. Wake up, Chinese!!!!!!!!!!!

Just recently! U.S. switch from "free" trade to "fair" trade.
Before U.S. advocates "free" trade because, U.S. had competitive edge.
now, the competitive edge is diminishing, so "fair" trade. To U.S.
if they could not win they will change the game, rather than lose!\
