What exactly does fairly look like to you? Uyghurs in camps, suicide nets strung around factories?

Like, even if you just want to talk about protectionism, China is way worse than the US pre-Trump. "Fairly" has nothing to do with foreign policy.

I recall kids in cages back before trump was around. The US doesn't exactly have a clean track record when it comes to human rights and international law yet they are quick to point the finger at anyone else when they cross the line.

There is a vast distance between putting unaccompanied minors in holding cells and what Trump is doing.

No nation is perfect, but the US has historically been better than many others.
