Yes, chuck China out of the WTO

President Trump should work with allies in Europe and the Indo-Pacific to move towards expelling China from the World Trade Organization.

I suggest this course of action in light of Greg Ip’s excellent Wall Street Journal article on Wednesday describing the practicalities of China’s WTO expulsion. Ip notes that while the action would be complicated and controversial, it is also theoretically and functionally feasible. Ip also rightly notes that an alignment of WTO member states against Chinese economic misconduct would send a powerful rebuke to Beijing.
