still interested in yesterday's topic. This is the most comprehensive policy on trade among any candidates so far (Trump excluded).

Although China is only named once (or maybe twice) in her policy statement, she state, clearly aiming at China, that U.S. should only enter into trade agreements with countries that meet her standards: labor rights, human rights, religious freedom, fighting corporate tax evasion, ending fossil fuel subsidies and meeting Paris Climate emission reductions goal... Under this tough standard, not just china, very few countries in the world can trade with U.S.. In the sense, China will view Warren worse than Trump.

She spots on a couple of issues, just like Sanders in 2016 identified some issues, but her solutions are wrong. The most important thing is her reasoning still mainly stays in 1990s, outsourcing jobs, losing job done by big companies have already become a fact, the damage has already been done. Needlessly say we need to do damage control as Trump is trying to do. But the new challenge is competition for future, i.e. who can win the battle of 5G, robotics and AI. Seems Elizabeth Warren has no idea about this in her proposed trade policy.
