US Trade Agency Sees Negotiating New WTO Rules to Rein in China as Futile<\/h2>\n

February 5, 2019<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Negotiating new World Trade Organization rules to try to rein in China’s “mercantilist” trade practices would be largely a futile exercise, the Trump administration’s trade office said on Monday, vowing to pursue its unilateral approach to protect U.S. workers, farmers and businesses.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Trade Representative’s office used its annual report to Congress on China’s WTO compliance in part to justify its actions in a six-month trade war with Beijing aimed at forcing changes in China’s economic model.<\/p>\n

The report also reflects the United States’ continued frustration with the WTO’s inability to curb what it sees as China’s trade-distorting non-market economic policies, and offered little hope that situation could change soon.<\/p>\n

“It is unrealistic to expect success in any negotiation of new WTO rules that would restrict China’s current approach to the economy and trade in a meaningful way,” the USTR said in the report.<\/p>\n

Some U.S. allies, including Canada, the European Union and Japan, which are also frustrated with pressures created by China’s economic policies, have begun talks on the first potential changes and modernization of WTO rules since it was founded in 1995.<\/p>\n

But any WTO rule changes must be agreed by all 164 member nations, and past efforts have stalled. …<\/p>\n

While U.S. President Donald Trump said he would like to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping to try to hammer out a trade deal, the USTR report makes clear a massive amount of work will be needed to bridge the gulf between the two countries.<\/p>\n

It cited the key structural issues in the talks, which also include China’s new cybersecurity law and discriminatory regulatory practices, as examples of how China aids domestic firms at the expense of foreign competitors in ways that escape WTO rules, adding that China has become “a unique and pressing problem for the WTO and the multilateral trading system.”<\/p>\n

The criticism also comes as the United States weakens the WTO’s role as global commerce watchdog by blocking the appointments of judges to its appellate body, which may no longer be able to function by December, when two judges step down. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/us-trade-agency-sees-negotiating-new-wto-rules-to-rein-in-china-as-futile\/4772977.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unlike the USA, the European Union is more willing to use the WTO, including against the USA:<\/p>\n

\n

The tariffs on Spanish black olives opened a new chapter in the US-EU trade war saga last year. Now the European Union has adopted a firm stance by announcing that the European Commission will challenge the US\u2019s tariffs in the World Trade Organization (WTO).\u00a0 These tariffs do not only have a big impact on Spanish olive exports, but they also represent a threat to the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe duties imposed by the United States on black olives from Spain are unjustified, unwarranted and go against the rules of the World Trade Organisation. Tomorrow, we are taking this case to the WTO dispute settlement system, requesting consultations with the US,\u201d tweeted<\/a>\u00a0last Monday the European Commissioner for Trade, Cecilia Malmstr\u00f6m. https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/anagarciavaldivia\/2019\/01\/30\/eu-stands-up-for-spanish-olives-against-us-tariffs-at-wto-interview-with-spanish-farmers-union\/#2918a1eda716<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The European Union sees the WTO as something that was dominated by the USA, but is something it can use to get its own rules in on trade. Notice something from a couple of months back:<\/p>\n

EU to Push for G20 Summit to Support WTO Reform<\/h2>\n

November 27, 2018<\/p>\n

BRUSSELS \u2014 <\/span><\/p>\n

Global trade tensions are putting at risk commitments by the Group of 20 leading economies to keep markets open, European Union delegates to the G20 said, pledging to help reform World Trade Organization rules to resolve the strains.<\/p>\n

G20 leaders meet on Friday and Saturday in Buenos Aires with the escalating trade dispute between the United States and China likely to top the agenda.<\/p>\n

The chairman of EU leaders\u2019 meetings Donald Tusk and the head of the European Commission, the EU\u2019s executive arm, Jean-Claude Juncker will represent the 28-nation bloc at the summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outlook ahead of the summit is rather bleak. The rules-based international order is under increasing strain and global trade tensions remain unresolved, thereby negatively affecting the global economic outlook,\u201d Tusk and Juncker said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, therefore, want to focus our attention on convincing our partners that there is no better alternative than a coordinated multilateral cooperation,\u201d they said in a letter to other EU leaders.<\/p>\n

The United States and China have been imposing tariffs on each other\u2019s goods in a dispute over market access, forced technology transfer, intellectual property rights and state subsidies to certain sectors that distort competition.<\/p>\n

The EU, Canada and Japan are also involved because of U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum products imposed by Washington earlier this year.<\/p>\n

WTO rules had to be adapted to new global challenges, such as industrial subsidies, forced technology transfer and other market-distorting policies, the EU letter said.<\/p>\n

The G20 summit should also aim to help end the blockage of appointments by the United States to the WTO\u2019s body for settling disputes and halt the escalation of unilateral measures and countermeasures by the world\u2019s two biggest economies.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has brought the world\u2019s top trade court to the brink of collapse by refusing to endorse new judges. From December 2019 there will be only one judge left, making it impossible for the WTO to issue final appeal rulings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe longstanding G20 commitments to keep markets open, to fight protectionism and support the multilateral trading system, risk becoming empty words,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n

The EU, which published proposals on Monday for WTO reform, would promote changes to the body\u2019s three functions: negotiating, monitoring and dispute settlement to \u201ctackle the root causes of the tensions\u201d, it said.<\/p>\n

The EU wants concrete progress at WTO trade discussions in Geneva by the time G20 meets again in Japan in June 2019. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/eu-to-push-for-g20-summit-to-support-wto-reform\/4675848.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The EU is moving to fill voids that the USA is causing. Notice also the following:<\/p>\n

31 August 2018<\/p>\n

Trump threatens to pull US out of World Trade Organization<\/h2>\n

President Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw the US from the World Trade Organization (WTO), claiming it treats his country unfairly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If they don’t shape up, I would withdraw from the WTO,” Mr Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer has also accused the WTO of interfering with US sovereignty. …<\/p>\n

China’s commerce ministry has said it “clearly suspects” the US of violating WTO rules.<\/p>\n

An initial complaint at the WTO was filed by China in July after Mr Trump imposed his first round of tariffs. …<\/p>\n

The WTO is at the heart of the system of rules for international trade. It is the forum for sorting disputes between countries about breaches of global trade rules and for negotiating new trade liberalisation.<\/p>\n

The EU, meanwhile, is trying to steer the US towards reforming the WTO rather than abandoning it.<\/p>\n

Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s trade committee, told Politico magazine that it would submit plans to overhaul the organisation in September<\/a>. https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-45364150<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA has been giving the Europeans an unprecedented opportunity to write the rules for international trade. This is one of the ‘unintended consequences’ of Donald Trump’s trade policies and statements.<\/p>\n

While the EU has cow-towed to the USA to some degree related to sanctions and Iran, the Bible shows that Europe, for a prophesied time at least, will eventually ‘win’ the trade war. Donald Trump’s approach is helping the Europeans by giving them more credibility as the USA is getting less credibility with many of the nations it trades with (as well as those it sanctions).<\/p>\n

As I wrote this past Summer (see \u2018Trade apocalypse\u2019 will lead to the fulfilling of prophecies in the Book of the Apocalypse<\/a>), to avert what has been called a ‘trade apocalypse,’ Europe wants to rewrite the rules for international trade.<\/p>\n

Essentially Europe will dominate the WTO or perhaps instead establish or become an important near equivalent.<\/p>\n

That is consistent with warnings in the Book of the Apocalypse, more commonly referred to these days as the Book of Revelation. That book teaches about an end time European power:<\/p>\n

2 … Babylon … 3<\/span> For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:2,3)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above is referring to the fact that nations of the world are prophesied to get wealthy trading with end time Babylon, which will be a European entity. This European power will have religious ties to the City of Seven Hills–the Church of Rome:<\/p>\n

\n
1<\/span> Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, <\/span>2<\/span> with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” (Revelation 17:1-2)<\/span><\/div>\n

9<\/span> Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. … 18<\/span> And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:9,18)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bible tells of a trading power arising in Europe that is tied to the City of Seven Hills. Europe, the United Nations, and the Vatican have stated that they have agreed on essentially the same future for the world. Now, Europe is getting an opportunity to better mold trade in its image–with its standards and, at least indirectly, its control.<\/p>\n

Back in 1971, the old Worldwide Church of God (WCG) published the following:<\/p>\n

Momentous, historic events are transforming Western Europe. But most Americans are “asleep at the switch” to what is happening. It’s time for a self-centered America to wake up – before her allies become her enemies. Envision the startling future of Western Europe. A … union of perhaps 250 million people, surpassing both the United States and the Soviet Union in economic strength, possessing for the first time worldwide political power and influence. One news source recently called it an “enormous, physically powerful beast.” A new Western Europe controlling perhaps half of all world trade, by exclusive arrangements with dozens of nations who produce raw materials. A “United States of Europe” possessing one single currency – a currency so strong that it will replace the U. S. dollar as the kingpin currency of world trade.(Hogberg G.EUROPE’S COMMON MARKET RISING WORLD COLOSSUS<\/b><\/span>. Plain Truth, 1971)
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, Europe does have its own currency–a currency that some see as the logical replacement for the US dollar for world trade–especially because of US sanctions, etc. (see also SWIFT end of the USA by 2025 as EU, Russia, China, and Iran take steps?<\/a>). Now, let me add that less than a decade after the above was published, the WCG publicly announced that Eastern Europe would also be part of this European power. And within a decade of that, Eastern European nations began to officially join in with what has become the European Union. And, in population (over 510 million), the European Union is actually larger than that of the USA and Russia combined (though once the UK is out, it will be a bit smaller–yet other nations want to become part of it).<\/p>\n

The prophesied European power will be able to dominate world trade by developing\/writing\/controlling many of the rules for international trade and the world’s largest market.<\/p>\n

With more and more of the world upset by US President Donald Trump, Europe is seizing an opportunity–an opportunity that will result in it fulfilling various end time prophecies.<\/p>\n

Others can now see how Europe may rise economically and dominate trade as the USA fades from dominance.<\/p>\n

Trade will be a factor in what can be called World War III.<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Trade Disputes: CCOG Warnings Are Coming to Pass<\/a> Trade tensions and talks of trade wars have escalated. US President Donald Trump has put Europe, China, Mexico, and other lands on notice that he wants to change how international trade with the USA has been going. Tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and even more tariffs are being implemented. Is this all just happenstance? Are we yet in a trade war? What will Europe do? Has the Church of God been warning about trade disputes and a coming trade war for decades? What about the Continuing<\/em> Church of God (CCOG)? What has been warned, what has been happening, and what will happen? Will trade disputes be a factor in World War III (WW3)? Dr. Thiel explains what has been taught and what to expect.
\nTrade Wars: Are COG warnings coming to pass?<\/a> Trade issues, tariffs, and talk of trade wars are in the news. Can trade wars lead to World War III like they did to World War II? Are the events going on with the USA, UK, Asia, and Europe consistent with warnings published by the true Church of God (COG) over the past several years and decades? Do Germany and China hope to take advantage of trade frictions involving the Trump Administration and the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement? What about Mexico and South America? Does the Bible teach that Europe will become a major trading power? Will the final European Babylonian trading power be destroyed? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.
\n19 items to prophetically watch in 2019<\/a> Much is happening. Dr. Thiel points to 19 items to watch (cf. Mark 13:37), plus another, in this article. Here is a link to a related sermon: 19 items to watch in 2019<\/a>.<\/span>
\nDonald Trump and Mexico’s future<\/a> Mexico has increasingly been in the news because of statements and policies of US President Donald Trump. Many in Mexico are not intending to sit back and accept whatever Donald Trump attempts to force them to do. What will happen to Mexico? Will it make trade deals with Europe? Will it ultimately go to was against the USA? Will the Mexican economy drop at times and then improve? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more in this video.
\nUS Dollar being challenged by Gold-Petro-Yuan <\/a> The US dollar has been the world\u2019s primary reserve currency for decades. Is this about to change? What is going on with the Chinese yuan and oil and gold? What do the BRICS nations want? What did Venezuela do? Do the Europeans want to dislodge the US dollar as the world\u2019s primary reserve currency? Does US debt play any role? Does the Bible tell us what will happen to the USA and its dollar? What happens if the USA loses its status? Will gold outlast the US dollar? Dr. Thiel addresses those issues and more in this video.
\nGentile Cryptocurrency Proposal <\/a> Two Russian leaders have called for a BRICS-wide and\/or EAEU-wide cryptocurrency. This is hoped to be used to replace the US dollar for international trade. BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The BRICS nations represent 3.6 billion people. The EAEU includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Will Gentiles rise up? Are there any prophetic ramifications of what these nations are looking to do? This is a video.

\nMust the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?<\/a> Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together.

\nTrump Presidency Magic 8 Ball or Bible Prophecy?<\/a> BBC<\/em> reported that one might as well use a ‘Magic Eight-Ball’ to try to predict what will happen in the remaining time of Donald Trump’s presidency. What is a ‘Magic Eight-Ball’? Dr. Thiel not only explains that, but also briefly goes over 10 biblically-based warnings he wrote would happen if Donald Trump were elected that have already began to come to pass. He also goes over something he wrote back in 2008 that the Trump presidency is also helping lead to fulfillment. Should you trust Bible prophecy or not? Dr. Thiel says that Bible prophecy can be trusted, despite the view of skeptics and others that either overlook or despise the Bible. This is a video.
