I think the part you missed was that China obviously doesn't play by the same rules and wouldn't be included. As you mentioned in another post and something I'd tend to agree with you on is the nationalistic stance factor. You want sovereignty and self-sufficiency but you can still trade within a system and it be mutually beneficial.</blockquote>
