McCain: Withdrawing from TPP Is ‘Harmful’ and ‘It Will Give the Chinese Greater Domination’

‘This will give the Chinese a greater domination economically and with some of their behavior patterns’

EXCERPT:

ROSE: "The President's argument is that it means jobs lost from America to Asia."
McCAIN: "Well, Charlie, I guess it all depends on your fundamental belief and that is with a level playing field, and I believe that the TPP was largely level — there's always uneven aspects of it — that the United States worker can compete with any other worker in the world. And I believe that the American worker is the best by far. Look at our lead in the economic indicators that are most important and that's in high tech and capabilities. So I believe that this is harmful and over time it will give the Chinese a greater domination economically and also some of their behavior patterns, by the way."
