State department hand wringing that China is going to use the US trade agreements as they were designed is 
I fully expect them to redo these with "except china" clauses.
If this reaches some arbitrary threshold of manufacturing above that which US capital is comfortable with they will begin restricting and rewriting what “free trade” means
Altering NAFTA and telling Mexico to "pray we don't alter it further"? Wouldn't put it past them.
