No. It wouldn't matter if trade with China was the ultimate cure-all for poverty - any sort of trade with a nation whose government has no respect for human rights, and is unlikely to be swayed into doing so, is like making a bargain with the devil. One should look at the whole US/Saudi Arabia dynamic to see the problems this leads to....
I suppose my position is "Free Trade with Free Nations" - I think the US is being stupid by not complying with free trade agreements with Canada, but I don't even think the US should be trading with China, period.
