Sure. We have that. It's called the World Trade Organization. It's called the G7 countries and the G20 countries. And guess what - it's quite obvious that China doesn't give a shit. It's apparent that Chinese trade practices weren't improving under different political party leadership in...

OK, Orange Man Bad. I hear you and I take your point. So I'll ask once again. What would be “the right way” ? I’m quite curious. Don’t say: “file a case with WTO” because despite its membership obviously China blatantly ignores WTO rules and rulings.
