China has an authoritarian government that

* is ruled by a secretive group of old men [1]

* produces pollution that threatens the entire world [2]

* uses the great firewall to attack tech companies in other countries like github [3]

* ignores human rights and free speech [4]

* creates artificial military island near neighboring countries [5]

* supports dictators in Russia and Africa [6]

* and prints up to 282% of GDP [7] in order to buy their way into other countries real estate and companies.

If China gets anymore powerful, the world is doomed. We need to curb commerce with China.
