SENATE BILL: Dept. of Ext. Aff.: September 2011 Foreign Policy Review (law'd)

[Mopsus]

So, can we get back to work on this?  If a Senator can (for this FPR only) designate the following nations with the status of "Most Priority", defined as "free exchange of intelligence and trade, as well as top priorities for military and/or economic aid if needed":
Australia
Israel
Japan

Since I'm technically your Senator, I guess this is my responsibility, right ?

I hope I didn't mess anything up .

[Mopsus]

I object to economic restrictions against China. At a time when the size of the Chinese middle class is projected to become larger than the Atlasian and European middle classes combined by a margin of over 2:1 by 2030, and Chinese demand for Western goods is higher than ever, it would be foolish to enact any measures which could hinder our trade with China.

[Mopsus]

I'd like to know why, specifically, the Senator has singled out Belarus for military and Nigeria for economic restrictions.

[Mopsus]

Right, sorry about getting the two mixed up. With regards to China, mercantilism isn't in anybody's best interest, but I think that a superior course of action would be negotiation with the Chinese government, to convince them of this fact (although, if you're referring to the government's deliberate devaluation of the yuan, the government has stated that it intends to take measures to increase the currency's value, with the goal of doubling it within the next ten years).
