Yes, working to negotiate a change to that particular element of the UPU price structure makes sense (which is why Canada already did it for China-Canada mail.)

Whether rage-quitting the UPU makes a lot of sense (even as a negotiating tactic), is a different question; the UPU is more than a Chinese discount.

I'm in Canada and I can still order all the $.99 items with free shipping from China I want - either there's some sort of magic happening, or the renegotiated terms still allow substantial subsidies.
