On: US Announces Withdraw From Postal Treaty

> I don't think anyone sensible would fault China for taking advantage

But everyone faults the US for taking advantage. /petpeeve

[icebraining → jjoonathan]

They're not in the same position. China takes advantage of bugs in the rules. The US writes and pushes through the rules, often quite forcefully.

These look different, but the US is simply taking advantage of the set of rules that allow rule-writing.

*used to push through rules

Trump seems quite fond of withdrawing the US from one negotiating table after another.
