 If your idea of a 'trade deal' is China maintaining the same status quo that they have for the last 20 years with them dumping steel, stealing IP, forcing American companies to bend the knee, and the Chinese threatening to blow up Navy destroyers, sure.

### REPLY:
You seem confused about the transfer of Western technology. The US and other countries are permitting the Chinese to steal their technology. It's not an accident or something undesirable by the United States, it is in fact the desired state of affairs. The U.S. has a long history of transferring technologies to Weimar Germany, the USSR, Vietnam and now China. Most of their recent enemies have been artificially propped up by the United States itself.
