Then imagine if all those countries had deals together, dam they wouldn't have to sell their excess to China at all would they, because its more profitable to send to a free trade partner. You could even write in a few copyright clauses which we all know China totally ignores, dam that would save those copyright holders trillions, you might write in a few other things, like ensuring human rights and health standards are meet. Maybe even if there were a few naughty countries you could inflict sanction's on them like they had never seen because it's a combined effort from trade partners.

If you had that sort of deal sorted out, and then you cancel it, you hand China the biggest payday cheque they ever had in history.
