Trade growth is essential for a developing nation like ours. Still, we should weigh these benefits against the potential for increased political pressure from such a powerful partner.

Why are we cozying up to an authoritarian regime? This undermines our democratic values.

Another bad deal. We need to be careful about what we are sacrificing for these trade promises.

A very positive diplomatic step. China is a key global partner.
