It takes both sides to develop a relationship. While it would be desirable to be less dependent on the US as a trading partner, attempts to develop links with the EU have not been too successful, and with the UK becoming part of the EU, we have lost ground there.

Human rights and social justice should always take priority. Our partnerships need to go beyond just 'economic' considerations. For example, in the case of China, we shouldn't forget the plight of occupied Tibet, nor the repression of human rights. Why should trade be the only concern in |

There is no problem with trade between in India, Mexico and Brazil, but I think we should think twice about China. They aren't smart with money. I have recently heard that they have wasted up to a quarter of their financial resources on the persecution of Falun Gong, a harmless spiritual group. |
