TPP may not address steel dumping / Will it keep China in check?

TPP may not address steel dumping. HuffPost:

"Without an amendment to the [fast track] bill ensuring stricter enforcement against steel dumping, [Sen. Sherrod] Brown argues, the unfair trading practices plaguing the U.S. steel industry will continue."

W. Post's Harold Meyerson challenges TPP claim it would keep China in check:

"Of all the developments that led to the increase in China's power and the diminution of ours, the one that definitively did both was Congress's enactment of permanent normal trade relations with China in 2000 ... So a trade deal benefiting U.S. investors at the expense of U.S. workers created the rise in Chinese power, and now, we're told, a trade deal benefiting U.S. investors at the expense of U.S. workers will help us keep Chinese power in check."
