Arraya,
Sorry but first and foremost RP believes in soveringty. He does not back China’s stateist methods for any other reason that he thinks we should not intervene in others nations soveringty. That being said he also believes that there are much better ways of dealing with international imbalances then the current GATT and NAFTA treaties. Which some would argue give a country which has very cheap labor an advantage in production. So again I find that anti RP sentiment is driven by a lack of understanding of what the man has said for a very long time. But the press misrepresents.
